One small thing I wanted to mention is that ever since the contact email address was listed in the PSL, we’ve been getting a lot of spam emails such as the one in #2153, and not all of them are caught by spam filters. I was wondering if there’s a protocol for which email addresses are allowed to send emails to domain holders on the list.

For example, if there’s a rule that only @mozilla.com or @mozilla.org addresses can contact domain registrants for PSL matters, it would help a lot. That way, we and other registrants could optionally set up an allowlist to let certain senders through if we choose to implement such filter, as a way to prevent spam.

Otherwise, I think many registrants will just ignore the emails if they’re full of spam, and important messages from PSL admins could get missed, making the emails pretty much useless.

Our previous email address at registry.prvcy.page, which was a forwarder, stopped working because it was forwarding spam to our admin email. Due to the high bounce rate, it eventually got blocked, and the account was suspended.

Just a thought, although I know volunteers send emails too, but right now, there’s nothing in the guidelines about how or where emails are sent from.

We do not explicitly have specific email addresses we send from as there are a few volunteers, like myself and @groundcat which do not work at Mozilla, nor have Mozilla email addresses and we send emails from personal email addresses.

Maybe we could create a file in this repository with a list of email addresses you should explicitly allow emails from for important PSL notices.

I agree with both of your points; perhaps it's best to create a new issue to specifically address this email concern: #2184
