I suspect this is their frustration for being frequent targets of Google's monopolistic DKIM/SPF scam.
In any case, while I will look into renting another server to run a Mailman 2 instance, generally speaking I think the Google spam filter problem (which has increased spam and the quality of deception in spam, making it a failure like all Google products; stay away from Waymos!) the sensible response is probably to use the forum instead.
QuoteQuoteThanks for the suggestions. I'm just moving us to the forum. Here's why:
1. Forums are thriving, especially on the right, and the data is persistent and visible. Better than having to move between archives and email.
2. DH is not stupid and there's a reason they are getting out of mailing lists, and that reason is the DKIM/SPF/etc scam. This makes a mailing list a constant headache and liability. Note: I mentioned some years ago that this was a stupid idea advanced by a monopoly, and yet... crickets out there.
3. I cannot take on another project to manage at this time.
What components/services are used today to run the mailinglist? Maybe it would not be so painful to move it over to one of my servers? I imagine that the traffic is tiny, so the most complicated thing would probably to create various DNS entries to point at the right server.
At this point nothing is that simple, and I like the forum format better than mailing lists, social media, and even hackjobs like Masodong.
Is there a daily summary option that can be sent via email?
