Greetings Rivendell Folks! My apologies for the cross-posting and repetition. Those of us the Rivendell-Dev listserv has been having some discussions about possible replacements for our GNU Mailman-based system (for reasons that will be obvious in the appended message), and the ‘[email protected]’ list came up. Might you folks be interested in taking on the role? Appended is the original post that got the discussion rolling:
*** snip snip *** Howdy Folks: Many of you here (especially those whose e-mail is delivered by via accounts hosted by Google) have likely noticed that the reliability of messages from this listserv has taken a significant nosedive over the past several months. After ~20 years of self-hosting this list and (for the past several months) spending many, many hours wrestling with obscure and intermittent bounces generated by Google’s MTAs, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time to move this service to a provider that has the requisite skills and resources to manage it in the “Google age”. Our options appear to be: 1) Host the existing list with a commercial company. 2) Move to a “non-commercial" existing listserv that has the available capacity and would be willing to take it on —e.g. an ‘edu’ type institution. 3) Move to some other, non-email based service (the FB Rivendell group is one that has come up as a possibility). WRT option 1), I’ve done some shopping around and found none with the needed functionality that would at the same time be affordable (really trying to avoid advertisement-based models). I’m open to ideas regarding the possibilities. Cheers! |---------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
