Can we get irclogs.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress
code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source
code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for 
community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/)
updated from the latest svn?

A [recent commit](https://code.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/433) was made to restore
the listing of archives (re: [#meta-2448](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2448)).

# 󠀁[smtp-fwd reverse DNS](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2017/01/27/smtp-fwd-reverse-dns/)󠁿

As reported on [meta.trac](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2443) it appears
that smtp-fwd is lacking the rDNS which might explain why we’re seeing a higher 
level of slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
invite failures of recent.

Could we add a reverse DNSDNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System - how you
assign a human readable address to a website’s exact numeric coded location (ie.
wordpress.org uses the actual IP address 198.143.164.252). for that mail forwarder
please?

FYI; SPF and DKIM appear to be succeeding according to gmail.

# 󠀁[One of the servers seems…](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2017/01/25/one-of-the-servers-seems/)󠁿

One of the servers seems to not be updating for planet.wordpress.orgWordPress.org
The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This
is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes
as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/).
Every once in a while you can refresh the site and will get a page from December.
Like one of the webservers isn’t updating properly or otherwise not running the 
process.

I have no visibility into the production servers, so can somebody take a look and
see if one of them is “stuck” somehow?

# 󠀁[Kathryn Presner has notified us…](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2017/01/20/kathryn-presner-has-notified-us/)󠁿

Kathryn Presner has notified us that she is not receiving some emails from Themes
TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature 
requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/)..
I’ve been investigating this issue and found that the emails do get sent out, but
they are sometimes broken – they are _sometimes_ missing the ‘To’ headerHeader The
header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead
or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of
your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your
organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes..
 I’ve
tried to find the root cause of this, but with no luck. Our trac install has plenty
of custom modules, and a few local patches. One of them does modify the notification.
py file, but i couldn’t locate any code that could cause this issue. I’ve looked
through the themes mailbox for automattic user, and found around ~1100 emails since
2014 that did not contain the To header (and were from themes trac), which is quite
a big number as there’s not that many emails coming from themes trac.

Can somebody who has worked with customising / writing patches for wporg Trac have
a look at this issue? I know [@nacin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nacin/) did
some, not sure who else.

An example comment for which the To header was missing is [this one](https://href.li/?https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/34476#comment:5).
I can find more if needed.
