Correct.
Reconfiguring it to relay notifications via the main outgoing server is the longer term fix, but an initial attempt at enabling that resulted in errors in the bugs.python.org mail logs, so David reverted to the direct email configuration for the time being.
Specifically, I think we should clean up the issues that are causing reputation loss (which pretty much means dropping rietveld, although in theory we could fix rietveld instead if someone wants to finish Ezio's patch). And then we need to understand the issue that caused me to back out the change: something is sending null-Sender emails to multiple recipients. We may not need to fix it (mail.python.org rejected them but they may be useless messages), but we probably should. I suspect they are actual bounces, but I don't have the time to investigate further at this time. --David
