mailing list with archive

[StephanJanosch]

moin! How can one actually access the archive of the mailinglist? When you go to https://ml-cgn04.ispgateway.de/mailman/listinfo/liste_de-rse.org you find a link to http://ml-cgn04.ispgateway.de/pipermail/liste_de-rse.org/, but this one is apprently broken

I think we don't have a proper archive. We never had a working one. I have still all the mails from the list here. Maybe we need to rethink how we handle that in future. Maybe p.floeffl has an idea how to proceed. Good reminder p.psomme2 to improve on that front

The current hosting does not include archives. It would indeed be nice to improve here. It would need to be a trusted place were we preferably could host for free, and we would need to think about the use of the domain there as well.

I made very good experiences with listserv.dfn.de, one could request a list like [email protected]. it's free and managed by a trustworthy institution

but this would mean a list closure and a migration of readers. I also like the DFN service a lot, good archive. Useful admin interface.

no, you can absolutely have open lists at listserv.dfn.de. I do have that for one of my software packages: https://www.listserv.dfn.de/sympa/info/psyplot

the only issue I see here that you might need to ask everyone in the list, as we give sensitive data (email-addresse) to externals (DFN)

address

as mail uses MX DNS record, de-rse.org mail could run at a different provider than other services. Not sure if that would worl=k

user transition

i guess we could export current subscriber list and use that for invitation in a new list tool.

message transition

export and reimport?

@knarrff did work on this

https://addons.thunderbird.net/de/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/ could export old mails from an existing Thunderbird installation.

This could be imported into mailman: https://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20import%20an%20archive%20into%20a%20new%20mailing%20list%3F

We would end up with a complete archive of the list. I have still all mails
