Need contact email for team, but contradictory info on launchpad

Asked by Francesco Fumanti

Hi,

I am an administrator of the Onboard Devel Team that works on the Onboard onscreen keyboard project:
https://launchpad.net/~onboard
https://launchpad.net/onboard

We need an email address for people that would like to contact the Onboard Devel Team.

The Launchpad Help says on the one hand that it is possible to activate the mailing list for the team and use its email address as contact email. On the activation page of the list, it says among others, that the archives of the list are public:
https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+mailinglist

On the other hand, a different page of the Launchpad Help advises to never use a mailing list with a public archive as contact address for a team because of privacy and confidentiality issues, which I fully agree to:
https://help.launchpad.net/PrivacyConfidentialityAndDisclosure

Could you please tell me how to get an email address for people to contact the Onboard Devel Team that respects the privacy and confidentiality of the person contacting us?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Francesco

Launchpad mailing lists are primarily designed for the case where you want a forum for public discussion between Launchpad users. If you want a private list for people to contact your development team, you'll need to use an external service to host that list and then set it as the team's contact address.

William, thanks for your reply.

Do you know any list that would be appropriate to serve as a private contact address for a development team?

Thanks in advance.
