OK, that's a good way forward.

So what do we do? We could create a list [EMAIL PROTECTED] (subtle
difference there) to begin with; then get that in MARC [1] and then drop the
MX for our subdomain, pointing back to @kde.org. That sounds to me [2] like a
fairly straighforward migration except for preserving the archives. The MARC
guy isn't that bad though, isn't he?

Right, let's just move on.
[2] Not that I've ever managed a mail server myself, mind ..
[1] I actually would like to set up an alternative archive, since MARC isn't
all-inclusive and doesn't support any real data mining, which is something I
would want for a research project I'm on.
