Replacement Archiver for ARM Mailing Lists
Posted by Russell King on Saturday, 15th December 2007

We have changed the way we archive messages on the mailing list server. Rather than using mailman's built-in "pipermail" archiver, we now use lurker. This is in a bid to reduce our dependence on mailman, which has been causing a certain amount of grief lately.

Direct links into the old pipermail archive will no longer return the intended message; instead they will be redirected to the appropriate lurker list index page. It is hoped that in the near future, we can adjust the rewriting rules to help target the right part of the archive for old URLs.

However, people with direct links into the old pipermail archive are strongly encouraged to update their sites.

The increase in spammer tactics on the Internet has caused the load on the front end mail server to become excessive. As a direct result of this causing severe problems, I have been forced to take some drastic action to keep the mail service operational:

Any connection idle for more than 1 minute will be dropped
Any host connecting with an IPv4 address without correct reverse DNS setup will have it's connection refused

If you have issues sending me email, please check whether your mail servers have properly configured reverse and forward DNS. Thanks.
