About beta version

This version is a prerelease version of new stable release. We expect feedback from users and developers. To know how to report bugs or improvements, see Contributing to Sympa.

• New stable release is planned to be released in Friday, 21st December 2018.

Translation catalog was updated because some messages were added mainly for new feature.

• Translations added on translation site not after 19th December 00:00 UTC will be shipped with new stable release.

Adding ARC support

This version aims to be the first draft of ARC (Authenticated Received Chain) support with Sympa. For details about ARC, see a slide by DMARC.org (PDF).

In a nutshell, ARC is an e-mail authentication scheme that remedies a problem of DMARC especially with mailing list service. Supporting it, we may avoid confusing rewriting on originator addresses.

We will look forward your feedbacks on:

• GitHub issue page: Issue #153
• Mailing lists: sympa-developpers, sympa-users etc.
