I know why I want to run my own mail server. It's all about control and not 
being the product that Google and others sell to their customers.
Yet, there are moments when I question my sanity with all this.

I'll spare you more of the idiotic details and the rest of the self-inflicted 
pain, but I'll mention that we should now in theory have a great brand new mail 
server, running at a Hetzner data center in Europe, with a (**knocks wood**) 
clean IP address that is MINE to keep and control.

(* insert regular THANK YOU to the folks sponsoring me / Subsurface... Hetzner 
is a lot more expensive than other hosters, but so far it appears to be worth 
the money *)

As a result, these emails now are delivered by Mailman3 - which means there's a 
new URL for the mailing list management: https://mailman.subsurface-divelog.org/

All accounts should have seamlessly ported over - but if you need to make any 
changes, you'll need to create a new account on that system.
I also ported the archives, but the archive URLs are of course different. For 
now I am keeping the old archives at 
http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/pipermail/subsurface/ online, but over time 
I'm planning to drop those.

The usual request: I KNOW that I broke stuff (including losing a couple of days 
worth of email because I fat-fingered a command... if you are waiting for a 
response from me on something, please resend).
But I'd also love to hear if any of these emails get marked as spam, if you can 
access the new website, etc.
And anything else that I might have messed up.

I really do hope that this will be the end of my sysadminning email problems 
for a little while.

But then, that's not how things usually turn out for me.
