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
