I took some pain to learn that in this day and age, some mailservers
will more likely classify your mail as spam, unless it comes from a dns
signed mailserver for a domain and has proper signatures (is that what
DKIM signatures are?).

Ignacio, your code assumes localhost is a properly configured
mailserver. This is not true for /vote/ vm. To avoid the Spam folder I
setup /vote/ to relay email to a gmail account. More or less what it
says here: https://wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4

At this time I went and tried it and it failed. There is an error in the
logs suggesting logging into said account could fix it (password is in
/etc/exim4/passwd.client).
Anyhow it's probably better to route mail thru sunjammer.

(...)

Bernie, or anyone with access to DNSSEC signatures: I don't think I've
got access to sign the DNS records for sugarlabs. Membership Committee
is requesting to add an A record for *verify.sugarlabs.org* to IP
18.85.44.75:81 (which is a vm hosted in Freedom). This is to conduct a
membership email update / verification with a Flask app (code by
Ignacio, published above).

Thanks!
Sebastian
