Registry notes

Subscribed and confirmed 2026-07-29 (sender [address withheld]); a real audit-release bulletin arrived the same day. Overlaps the planned oversight.gov aggregator, which collects IG reports government-wide; the aggregator rule applies if both are activated. Gate-3 coverage evaluation (2026-07-30, from the 2026-07-29 bulletins): 1 bulletin carried 1 audit release, full text, DKIM-verified, with its canonical uspsoig.gov URL. The subscription is the OIG's own release list; its published output (audits, white papers) is low-volume and the bulletin stream matches the classes the site publishes.

How we ingest it

Channel

email bulletin

Method

Subscription bulletins to the project mailbox, ingested by the email adapter (src/fapd/email_sources.py; raw RFC-5322 capture, DKIM verify-and-archive).

Adapter

govdelivery

Poll cadence

the project mailbox is read about every 15 minutes

Requests

none — bulletins are delivered to the project mailbox by the agency's own subscription service

Authenticity

every message's DKIM signature is checked on arrival and the result is disclosed on each item; a failing signature is labeled, never silently dropped

Capture and hash

captured raw content is hashed (SHA-256) into the day's committed provenance manifest, hash-chained day to day (PROVENANCE.md)

Ingestion health

●Ingestion health: delivering 2 item(s) in the last 14 days; most recent 2026-07-30, delivered by email.

This label has held since 2026-08-03T18:46:01Z (UTC) and was last re-checked 2026-08-03T19:51:47Z (UTC).

Counts are of our own requests, retries included. A 4xx or 5xx is the server declining to return content — that may be load, maintenance, on-demand generation, or a limit the publisher sets, and we cannot tell which from outside. Nothing here is a measurement of the publisher.

Ingestion statistics

These figures describe this project's ingestion of this source — items we recorded and requests we made — and nothing else. They are not a measurement of the publisher.
