Mailman Software/Server Upgrade - Nov 19
by Pete Ashdown 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

The Mailman server will be upgraded on November 19th, starting from 10:00 AM MST. If all goes well, it will be down for an hour, but expect at least a three hour window. The upgrade has been tested without taking the original offline, and looks good. The original needs to be taken offline in order to make sure the databases and stored data syncs properly without emails coming in during the transition period. Any inbound emails will be held until the mailman server comes back online. If the upgrade fails, the old server will resume service until the problem can be isolate and resolved. If the old server has to be put back into service, we will schedule a future upgrade date to attempt again.

The server that runs Mailman 3 has been upgraded significantly to handle the processing needs of the new software. Please let me know if you see any quirks or problems. My initial tests show that everything copied over without any issues.

Is anyone seeing their pre-migration archives? I have a private mailing list and I don't have any archives available from before January. Dan

Disappearing messages

I found a configuration bug that was causing messages to silently disappear. It has been fixed, and the messages that were in question have been delivered (late). This shouldn't be an issue in the future.

Mailman3 back in action
by Pete Ashdown 15 Feb '21

The database backing for Mailman has been overhauled and is working much better. Archives are being imported successfully now, and the locking errors are gone. You will need to setup an account again on the Mailman server, as what was done before was lost in the database change. Please let me know directly if you're having any issues with this, or anything else related to mailman.xmission.com server as our support staff has not been completely acquainted with it yet. Also, I removed any list that hadn't seen activity in over 5 years, most had not seen activity in over a decade, so if something of yours got accidentally removed, I have a backup. Thanks again for your patience with this upgrade. Pete
