Mailman 3 is a complete rewrite of the software, so there are many changes all over.

NOTE: after switching to the new mail server, mailman will be temporarily unavailable while we migrate the lists and archives.

• users can still subscribe normally through e-mail, but they can also make an account on the site which will then be for all the lists they subscribe to on our server, to easily manage their settings.
• actually, subscribing terough the web interface has been broken for some time, and has been fixed now in the new version.
• for logged in users it is also possible to reply to a message in the archives
• due to the improved login and subscription system, spam to the lists will be reduced quite a bit, we hope

• Links to lists and archives are not preserved from the previous version. If you have external links to a list information page or to the list archives, these have to be updated.
• Access to private archives of a list is now based on a users subscription, and requires an account on the site associated with that subscription.
  • this makes it somewhat difficult to determine what to do with old archives from before the upgrade.
  • To err on the safe side, all archives are imported, and all of them are now private, for list members only.
  • if there are list archives that really need to be made public, we may be able to find a method. But please consider first if that is actually what is needed, and permitted (privacy, confidentiality). If an archive was public out of convenience (not requiring users to log in), then we may have to sacrifice a bit of convenience to gain privacy, confidentiality and security.
• Note: lists that had not been used for more than 5 years have been discarded. If there is a real need for such a list (eg the archives were still important even though no new mails were ever sent to the list), please let us know.
