Thanks to everybody who participated in our meetups, and to FOSDEM for providing the BoF room! In the end there were two sit-downs, and they proved productive for we 25 or so participants. There was demand for a permanent communication channel on our subject of mail server administration and deliverability, and so, here is a shiny new Discourse instance for this purpose: https://discuss.lightmeter.io <https://discuss.lightmeter.io/> Discourse (the software running the forum at the above address) is featureful and convenient, with easy searching, bookmarking, forwarding, editing, and more for posts and threads. Here are categories for: - Email deliverability (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/deliverability-questions/7>) - Mailserver tech (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/mailserver-tech-discussion/8>) - Other email-related news (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/email-news/6>) For those of you who prefer mailinglists: discourse can also be used this way, with support for email-based submission of new topics and replies to them. I'm still configuring that however (incompatible versions of OpenSSL, boo!), so for now email notifications work, soon to be followed by submit-by-mail too. Some initial topics that may be of interest: - List of spam checker tools (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/spam-checker-tools/19>) - External tools for testing mailserver setup (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/external-tools-for-testing-mailserver-setup/18>) - How will Google’s AMP affect deliverability? (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/how-will-googles-amp-affect-deliverability/27>) - Interesting mail clients (<https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/interesting-mail-clients/22>) What questions would you like to ask the group? Login with GitHub, Facebook, or plain old email, and post away. Message me directly if you have any problems. Sam. PS Sorry for the delay; I went through three (VPS) servers and wrestled with a variety of copies of Mailman 3 before deciding that Discourse was a better option. PS Consider forwarding this other mail admins who'd find it useful On 1 February 2020 11:59:56 GMT+01:00, Sam Tuke <mail@samtuke.com> wrote:

Actually we managed to book a BoF room for the meetup in H.3242 (thanks to this list for the suggestion).
So I will meet by the cafe in the hall as previously planned then migrate to the booked room.
Until 15.30 🙂

Hi All, on Saturday we're organising a meetup for mail server admins, to discuss challenges and solutions around running independent mail servers / networks.
It's a casual get together: meeting at the indoor entrance to the cafe in Building F at 15:30.

Delivery is getting harder! Looking forward to seeing you there.
Yes, looking forward to see you.
Question I'll bring: Will we have a mailinglist?
