Marc Dequènes (Duck) commented on OVIRT-798:
--------------------------------------------

Summary from the mail thread follows.

Gerrit spoof the sender of notifications using the user's address. But Gerrit is not allowed to send mails from any domain due to SPF policy. The Red Hat policy is getting stricter, and other companies also do so, so we need to change this behavior.

According to:
  https://review.openstack.org/Documentation/config-gerrit.html#sendemail
I suggested we could update the sendemail.from setting with the wanted address
instead of USER. I never touched this software so maybe someone more familiar could do the change if it looks ok. Also we need to schedule this to avoid bothering people.

Evgheni suggested using automation at ovirt.org as From.

Moreover, to be able to send from the oVirt domain the SPF settings in DNS was changed.
