Belenix.org is now pointing to the new website. Belenix.net and belenix.comwill also forward to belenix.org as the google maps API key works with only a single domain.
Thanks to Moinak's help we finally have IMAP working on the server. Now the forum <-> mailing list bridge between the belenix-discuss at opensolaris.org and the Belenix.org forum ( http://belenix.org/forum) is completely functional. Here's how it works: Once you register, you can create a new a forum topic. When you do so, it will get emailed to belenix-discuss at opensolaris.org. Even replies to forum topic will get emailed, thus creating threads at the mailing list. An hourly cronjob runs which fetches email from an IMAP email account subscribed to the belenix-disuss at opensolaris.org mailing list, so vice versa, when a new email is received at belenix-discuss mailing list, a forum topic or comment is created (depending upon the subject), with authorship of the the person "From" which the email has come. If the user doesn't exist on the website, it will automatically be created by Drupal. If that person tries to register at the website later, he will be told that a user already exists with that email address, so in that case he will have to "request new password" to access the account (I will add this piece of information to the 'account already exists' message so that new users dont get confused). mail at belenix.org is subscribed to belenix-discuss at opensolaris.org for mail retrieval and sending to create the bridge. No, one cannot spam the forum by sending a mail to mail at belenix.org as it is a google apps account with a filter (list:"belenix-discuss.opensolaris.org") to label the mails coming from the belenix-discuss mailing list and the website retrieves mails only of that particular label. If someone spoofs the mail coming from opensolaris.org, gmail wont accept it anyway. All mails from the forum will have a From field like this: <user's email address> <mail at belenix.org> This is there because we're now using the drupal SMTP module and a google apps account to send email. It is even necassary as other wise the mail will be considered spam, so it has to be sent from mail at belenix.org. And another advantage-cum-necassity is that this will allow a user who is registered at the website but not the mailing list (though there is an option to allow that now at http://belenix.org/mailman_manager) to post to the list (as the mail will be sent from mail at belenix.org which is subscribed). This is the best that can be done as we don't have direct access to the list's mailman admin interface. All attachments on the forum will appear as links to those files at the website in the emails and vice versa. The belenix-discuss signature will automatically be scraped off when the messages appear on the forum. "Re: , AW:,FWD:,fwd:" will be removed from the topic. Only new messages (all mails posted as of now) will appear on the forum. This message would be the first to appear on the forum (in a while).
