community as well as Derek and Stephen]
Derek and Stephen,
As part of the opening up of PSARC, we would like to move the PSARC
aliases out onto OpenSolaris.org. Before we actually make any changes,
we would like to brainstorm the best way to do them. What follows is an
initial starting point for discussion (see PSARC 2006/569 for additional
context):
In order to have effective external ARC discussions, I think we need the
following:
o Fix the cross posting and Bcc problems on opensolaris.org.
This is the configuration mess that requires all senders
to be a member of all the aliases they crosspost to. In
addition, fix the "implicit destination" moderation hell
resulting from the sac mail filter Bcc'ing to the
opensolaris aliases.
o Create a set of ARC aliases on opensolaris.org (details follow):
opensolaris-arc@
opensolaris-arc-discuss@
opensolaris-arc-record@
opensolaris-arc-chair@
opensolaris-arc-agenda-request@
opensolaris-arc-agenda-interest@
opensolaris-arc-member-list@
opensolaris-arc-intern-list@
opensolaris-arc-licensee-list@
opensolaris-arc-interest@
o We don't want to archive the base opensolaris-arc alias
directly because we want to process the mail on sac first.
But we *do* want to make it appear as if the opensolaris-arc
alias is the one being archived and mirrored. Based on the
sac mail filter's alias usage (see details below), it should
be sufficient to archive only the opensolaris-arc-interest
alias, as the others (opensolaris-arc-member-list and
opensolaris-arc-intern-list) should all be identical. If
the mail archiver supports messageID based dup mail filtering,
it would also be OK to dump all of them together into one
archive to catch any misbehavior. If that archive could be
named "opensolaris-arc" without clobbering the above mail
filtering, so much the better.

Use:
General ARC review discussion alias for
Open ARC Cases. All ARC review related
mail will be sent to this alias, which
forwards the mail on to
psarc-ext at Sun
which forwards the mail on to
[the sac mail filter]
The sac mail filter does a bunch of validation
work, archiving and filing, and then sends
the mail on (via a Bcc:) to the lists of
interested people:
opensolaris-arc-member-list@
opensolaris-arc-intern-list@
opensolaris-arc-interest@
