Hi all, Currently, master.debian.org is solely responsible for routing of personal debian.org mail ($username@debian.org). To get rid of this single point of failure, we are moving mail handling to a resilient set of frontend mail servers. We have reviewed user mail handling in the debian.org mail domain in advance of this change, and we think we have identified all of those who would have issues, and contacted them. The vast majority of users should see no disruption or change. If you wish to have a mail setup where you do filtering on the Debian side (rather than just sending all mail onwards to your normal mail account), you must set your LDAP forwarding to $username@master.debian.org and use .forward or .procmail files to do the necessary filtering. The majority of users who do any sort of mail processing beyond forwarding already do this. We are planning this change for Sunday, 7th of July. Again, we do not expect most users to notice any difference. We will make a further announcement on the day, and we would appreciate users with mail setups that rely on features beyond forwarding (.forward-* files, .procmailrc, bsmtp, etc) to check over things to make sure things are still working as expected. Of course, if you get the mail about the announcement, they probably are :) The mail gremlins, on behalf of DSA -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
