I have set up mailman as well as I can, and copied the archives and<br>
configuration from penguin into the proper places on linode. There<br>
are still two remaining problems:<br>
1. The web interface is a bit screwed up; I think this has to do<br>
with the apache config somehow.<br></blockquote><div><br>I think this is something I can fix, if you give me a little more information.

2. There appears to be no good way to change the host name that<br>
mailman uses, so I can't set it up as <a href="http://linode.wplug.org" target="_blank">linode.wplug.org</a> and<br>
then make a clean switch to <a href="http://www.wplug.org" target="_blank">www.wplug.org</a> as I had hoped.<br>
Right now it is set up for the hostname <a href="http://www.wplug.org" target="_blank">www.wplug.org</a> and<br>
e-mail domain <a href="http://wplug.org" target="_blank">wplug.org</a>, but obviously this won't really work<br>
until the DNS is switched over.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Would it be better to create MX records for <a href="http://wplug.org">wplug.org</a>, and point them at <a href="http://linode.wplug.org">linode.wplug.org</a>? We might even be able to proxy <a href="http://www.wplug.org/mailman">www.wplug.org/mailman</a> -> <a href="http://linode.wplug.org">linode.wplug.org</a>.<br>
<br>I'm going to be a little bit busy on the 27th due to some maintenance at Pitt, but otherwise the plan is fine with me.<br><br>Mike<br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
It seems to me that the best path forward is to dedicate the<br>
weekend of 25-27 April for the switchover. We can stop all<br>
services on penguin on the 25th and do a final rsync to bring the<br>
mailman files up to date on linode. Then we can change the DNS<br>
entries over to point <a href="http://wplug.org" target="_blank">wplug.org</a> and <a href="http://www.wplug.org" target="_blank">www.wplug.org</a> to linode and do<br>
a final check of mailman before bringing it live on linode.<br>
<br>
Please respond as to what you think of this plan, and especially<br>
whether or not you would be available the weekend of the 25th-27th<br>
to assist with the migration. Thanks.<br>
