A number of IETF-related mailing lists in the Applications Area have for some years been hosted by Paul Hoffman at imc.org. Most of them belonged to working groups at one time, and have remained active since the working groups closed, holding discussions of related activities and technology. Because of that history and current activity, it makes sense to keep the lists, and it also makes sense to re-host them at ietf.org. I discussed this with Paul, and he was also interested in making the switch.
The Secretariat has, therefore, moved the lists to ietf.org. By "moved", I mean that the subscribers to the old lists were subscribed to the new ones, *and* the archives were copied over as well -- many thanks to Steve Young for doing his best to clean out the spam and only archive the real stuff. The new lists have the same purpose as the old ones, and Paul has set things up to point people to the new ones when they try to access the old. This should look, to all the users, like a pretty seamless transition, requiring only an update of any email filters to use the new list designations (see below). In addition to thanking Steve for handling the move, I thank Paul Hoffman for having set these up quickly when they were needed, and for hosting them for many years. The lists that were moved are these: [email protected], List-ID: <imapext.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Discussion of IMAP extensions [email protected], List-ID: <ietf-822.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Discussion of issues related to Internet Message Format [RFC 822, RFC 2822, RFC 5322] [email protected], List-ID: <ietf-smtp.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Discussion of issues related to Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) [RFC 821, RFC 2821, RFC 5321] [email protected], List-ID: <pop3ext.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Discussion of extensions and updates to Post Office Protocol (POP3) [email protected], List-ID: <xml-mime.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Discussion of XML media types and issues relating to their use in MIME. [email protected], List-ID: <openpgp.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Ongoing discussion of OpenPGP issues. [email protected], List-ID: <usefor.ietf.org> (was [email protected]) Ongoing discussion of usefor issues.
