Dear colleagues,
In response to the community concerns regarding
using the outdated Mailman 2 software for the RIPE mailing lists, RIPE
NCC is starting the migration process to the Mailman 3 software suite.
This upgrade will enhance the user interface and message archives for
these lists. We expect to complete this work by 14 July 2024.
Previously,
we successfully updated our internal mailing lists to Mailman 3 and the
ASO and NRO mailing lists, containerising them in the process. This
latest migration extends those improvements to these external mailing
lists as well.
What will change?
Mailman 2 and Mailman 3 are entirely different products, which brings some changes in the observed behaviour.
The
mail delivery process for the existing subscribers will not change, so
they will continue to receive emails from the lists as usual, with a
potential one-time delay of up to four hours during the actual
transition. The interaction with the server is also going to remain the
same.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Kind regards,Timour Bakeev
Senior System Engineer
RIPE NCC
