Hello,
quite a while ago, we have renamed the @libreoffice.org mailing lists to
@global.libreoffice.org for technical reasons. I'd now like to do the
same for the @documentfoundation.org mailing lists, namely
- announce
- board-discuss
- discuss
- mirrors
- moderators
- test
The reason behind is that I'd like to split up our mail system into two
instances for reasons of load balancing and security. One should contain
all private mailing lists as well as e-mail accounts, the other one
should contain all public mailing lists. The fact that all our
communication tools are on one system at the moment is quite unfortunate.
At @documentfoundation.org, we not only host public mailing lists, but
also e-mail accounts. One way to achieve the distinction on the server
side is to create a forwarding/transport in the mail system, but I'm not
a friend of that, it has a few drawbacks. The other option is to rename
the list part, and - like we did with libreoffice.org before - use
@global.documentfoundation.org in the future, so each subdomain can be
attached to its own MX record (mail server).
Before doing such a change that affects many users, I wanted to ask
about your opinion. From a technical point of view, it is IMHO the best
solution. Agreeably, it is a bit annoying to update all the website
elements and links, and we can do the rename with enough time in
advance, but would you generally support this approach?
Thanks,
Florian
