This page is to support tracking moving the mailing list hosting responsibilities from bob at db.org to jfesler at gigo.com
Todo List
Decisions
- What date do we transition?
Actions Needed
- Moderators: Do you have the moderator password to the web interface?
- Testing of web interface (currently at http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/admin/dev (,users,announce) - Update your /etc/hosts to point to 216.218.228.114 for the domain for the purposes of testing.
- Subscriber lists exported from existing system, imported into new system
- Moving the "A" record for lists.roundcube.net to 216.218.228.114
- Move "MX" record to "gigo.com"
- Archives for 2007-07 copied from Bob to jfesler
Decisions Made
- Posts from non-subscribed users?
- Blocked for anti-spam reasons (will be enforced at SMTP level)
- Attachments?
- Will be allowed. Attachments will be "detached" and not broadcast to all subscribers. Interested parties can click a url to see the attachment.
- "A" record for lists.roundcube.net - Does that go to jfesler? Or stay where it is at?
- Decision: "A" record moves to jfesler at the time the list itself moves.
- Should subject lines add "Users" (etc) automatically? List archives indicate probably not.
- Per bob, leave that to the users MUA to deal with.
- Despite only allowing mail from subscribers, SpamAssassin? still runs, and by default on my system, mail detected as spam is moderated. This can be disabled, and a decision is not needed immediately.
- set up as jfesler default; adjust over time as needed
- Archives visibile at lists.roundcube.net, no crawler prevention.
- A brief welcome messase with a link to the FAQ sounds good.
- find someone to maintain lists.roundcube.net web stuff once the move is completed.
- gigo.com has apache1, php4 (will upgrade to php5 on the next hardware upgrade)
- gigo.comonly supports sftp/scp/ssh for web site management.
- [bob] - If you could just put up a temporary page on lists.roundcube.net we can find someone to maintain it once the move is completed.
- [till] volunteers
- postmaster@… go to jfesler
