Aside from no longer needing to pay AWS for the service, additional benefits we’ll see from this migration include: * Upgrade from mailman 3.3.1 to 3.3.10. This version includes a task runner that will automatically clean up stuck list subscriptions. This was the main cause for the Web UI hanging and going down over the past few years. * Postgres DB migration from 9.6 to highly available Crunchy DB based on Postgres 16 * Lab-wide SMTP relay * Modern anti-spam stack (postscreen, rspamd) * In-house DKIM signing (mail-tester.com rates us a 8.9/10 score) * Mailing alias (vs. an entire list) support * Proper reverse DNS (helps our spam score) The migration itself shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. It’s already been tested and everything that can be staged ahead of time is already ready. -- David Galloway Ceph Engineering Labs – Infrastructure Architect david.galloway@ibm.com IBM
