The sharp eyed among you may have noticed that over the last 24 hours
things have been rearranged so that mail to exim.org and the website is
going to the Cambridge University open projects development machine -
sesame.csx.cam.ac.uk. This should have had minimal effect on
functionality (although its been good for me since we are now dropping
virus messages and spam before they hit the mail moderation interface).
The next stage is to migrate the lists themselves across. This will
happen over the weekend. I will as far as I can keep people's settings
(nomail, digest etc) intact, however the passwords will all be reset to
default ones generated by mailman. I will force a password reminder
message when the changeover has been completed.
Following the changeover, all exim list mail will use VERP This means
the sender address will look something like
exim-user-bounces+nigel.metheringham=dev.intechnology.co.uk@???
Those filtering on sender address will need to change their filters
appropriately.
The mailing list archives for exim-users will be taken across as is,
with no change to the URLs. New archives for the list will be under a
different URL. The other lists will be converted to the new archive
URLs [The intention is to keep old useful URLs stable, but the size of
the old archives is so large that they are hard to index and too
imposing to work through so a new start is useful]. I will add
searching pretty soon - the archives are set up for it.
Other things may flap a little during the changeover - I think rsync is
currently broken, but will attempt to fix it shortly.
Nigel.
