ISG News has posted a new item, 'Mailing list server upgrade'
Our D-PHYS mailing lists will be offline for maintenance on Thursday 6th June from early morning to approximately 10h00. No emails to @lists.phys.ethz.ch addresses will be accepted during that downtime. Under the hood, the mailing list software will be migrated from mailman2 to mailman3. After the migration, the web page lists.phys.ethz.ch will have a new look with a modern web interface. You will be able to see and manage all your mailing lists right from the landing page. But note that all other URLs will have a new structure, so any browser bookmarks to individual mailing list configurations or archives will need to be updated. For users that only receive messages from these mailing lists, nothing should change. When sending messages to our mailing lists, pay attention, already now, to always use the @lists.phys.ethz.ch domain. The obsolete @phys.ethz.ch alias exceptions will no longer be accepted after the migration. Mailing list owners and moderators will be contacted in a separate email with additional information, right after the migration. In particular, the new system will have personal accounts for all users, so that passwords must no longer be shared among list administrators. Also note that any held messages pending for moderation will not be migrated. So please accept or discard moderation requests the day before the migration. Further documentation is available in our readme.
