[FOSDEM] Meetup for mail server admins on Saturday @ 15:30

[Sam Tuke]

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
