Hi Volker,
Yes you're quite right, as part of my job I'm here to make sure linux
expands - not have services moved to Microsoft products :-)
With the new version of Mailman, people will be able to unsubscribe on
a web interface which they can get the password emailed to them, so
even if it doesn't match their from address, they can still get off
the list, and then re-subscribe with the correct address to be able to
post again. I'm still testing exactly what posts it will accept, and
I won't be moving this list over until I'm satisfied that it'll still
work for everybody the way we want it to.
Also thanks Nick for pointing out the two public archives that already
exist.
Cheers,
Dan Hawke

Thanks Dan, great news. And thanks to uni for running this list since
1995, dependably and without major hickups.
One caveat for migrating this list server will be whether the list
server recognises subscribers by From: or envelope sender. If the new
server is different to the old there will be some people who can no
longer post or unsubscribe.
Making the archive public is of no consequence, all postings are
public
anyway and there are several existing archives. Just make sure you
mangle email addresses in any archive you put online.
And thanks for letting us know that the future will not be Exchange,
so
we don't have to find a new host for this list... ;)))
