First of all decide the mailing list names. I propose the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There are few initial stages:
1) (pier) move mailing lists to new hostname:
- this will involve moving the actual directories on the server, the
mailing list downtime will be of approximately 15 to 30 minutes
2) (pier) create aliases for old mailing list "post" address:
- make sure that messages to (for example) "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
are transparently forwarded to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
- but at the same time an informative message saying "the mailing list
has moved, your message has been delievered but remember to use the new
address in the future" is delievered to the sender
3) (volunteers???) update the documentation and the live site to reflect
changes in the new subscription/unsubscription addresses.
Then as soon as this is completed:
4) (pier/dlr) make sure that the archives on eyebrowse reflect this change.
After (I'd say) 15 days, then
5) (pier) not allow transparent forwarding of emails from the old "post"
address to the "new" post address, but simply bounce them mentioning the
new address.
After (I'd say) another 30 days
6) (pier) remove the old email aliases all together.
So, if we have a volunteer to update the site, and we all agree, we can
start straight away.
