All Mgrs Mtg-2007.04.04-List Serv

List Server by Dan Clawson May 2007 is the 2 year anniversary of Sympa. It’s been hugely popular. It’s been used to do departmental mailing lists rather than Exchange. There are over 1000 lists. We run it on a Sun v240 perl application; Sympa v 5.1.2 â€" we need to upgrade. This will happen in the normally scheduled April outage â€" we will move to Sympa v 5.3 and Postfix v 2.4. Dan has been playing with new rules â€" can match headers. Getting some garbage to some lists (like IPAlloc) â€" now Dan can quietly reject anything that gets tagged by the IronPort box as spam. Cool stuff. Department lists can have more specific rules, more granular restrictions. Can write templates for responses to certain events. If someone sends to a private list, a message can be sent about the rejection and give more information. Out of 50 GB, we’ve used 41 GB. Need to implement some quotas with list owners. Trying to get older archive stuff to automatically roll out. List owners can manage their own archives â€" please let Dan or the OIT Systems group know if you don’t need an archive for your list. Comments â€" please email the listmaster.
