<body>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. <br><br>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:<br><br><a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io">https://discuss.lightmeter.io</a><br><br>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.<br><br>Here are categories for:<br><br>- Email deliverability <div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/deliverability-questions/7">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/deliverability-questions/7</a>)</div><div><br><div>- Mailserver tech </div><div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/mailserver-tech-discussion/8">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/mailserver-tech-discussion/8</a>)<br><br></div><div>- Other email-related news </div><div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/email-news/6">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/c/email-news/6</a>)<br><br>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Some initial topics that may be of interest:</div><div><br></div><div>- List of spam checker tools </div><div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/spam-checker-tools/19">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/spam-checker-tools/19</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>- External tools for testing mailserver setup </div><div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/external-tools-for-testing-mailserver-setup/18">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/external-tools-for-testing-mailserver-setup/18</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>- How will Google’s AMP affect deliverability? </div><div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/how-will-googles-amp-affect-deliverability/27">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/how-will-googles-amp-affect-deliverability/27</a>)</div><div><br></div><div>- Interesting mail clients </div><div> (<a href="https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/interesting-mail-clients/22">https://discuss.lightmeter.io/t/interesting-mail-clients/22</a>)<br><br>What questions would you like to ask the group?
