# Repository guidance

- Use the Gab Virebent identity for this repository and its Virebent remote.
- Commit and push tested source and deployment fragments to
  `git.virebent.art/virebent/m2usenet-and-mail2news` before changing
  production.
- Do not commit Tor client-authorization entries, private keys, credentials,
  message contents, or production logs.
- Keep the integrated M2Usenet path Onion-only. Do not add a clearnet fallback.
- Treat SMTP `250` as relay acceptance, not proof of final NNTP publication.
- Hidden services must terminate on dedicated restricted listeners, never on
  a Postfix listener that trusts loopback through `mynetworks`.
