Two things:

1. All of the exim.org HTTP sites served from the cam.ac.uk host have
   HTTPS certs now, from Let's Encrypt.  I left pcre.org sites off
   because they were only redirecting to the bugzilla or mailman sites
   in the exim.org domain.

   However, I just noticed that the web server was throwing errors for
   the "ftp.pcre.org" host because it was unknown/unconfigured.  That
   doesn't make sense, and since DNS points to us anyway ... I just made
   it a configured host and gave it an HTTPS cert.

   So https://ftp.pcre.org/pub/pcre/ now works.  Might be helpful for
   people dealing with obnoxious firewalls.  The plain http:// version
   also works, it's not a stub.

2. I blinked a bit at the mail-domain for pcre-dev being @exim.org;
   would folks like the MTA to handle the domain "lists.pcre.org" too,
   so that you can use pcre-...@lists.pcre.org too?

   You have "between 50 and 100" list subscribers, so it's probably
   feasible to add the lists.pcre.org domain, make sure it works, and
   give people a heads-up and a date for a cut-over, so that
   spam-filters can be updated?

   One advantage of sticking with exim.org is that when the day comes
   that we upgrade mailman to be DMARC-aware, and start publishing DKIM
   records for the mailing-list, it all comes "for free" as we control
   DNS.  But perhaps you don't want that.  I don't know.  Just let me
   know what is wanted.  :)
