List moved to new home (Re: New list confirmation (Re: cpunks list relocation imminent)

[Greg Newby]

Dear colleagues,

The cypherpunks email list is now moved to a new server.  You will notice messages are from @lists.cpunks.org

Mail to cypherpunks at cpunks.org gets forwarded to cypherpunks at lists.cpunks.org, so there is nothing you need to do: both addresses work, and are anticipated to keep working.

DKIM and SPF and TLS all seem to be running correctly.  I have not yet configured DMARC.  Please let me know of any recommendations or anomalies or missing configurations.

Riad and I will synchronize the archives in a few days.  Basically, archives from August 25-31 are not yet available at https://lists.cpunks.org, and archives from the afternoon of August 31 are split between that site and the legacy site, https://cpunks.org.  New messages will be archived only at lists.cpunks.org

There might be a few small configuration differences in the lists.  If anything seems wrong or disturbing, please mention it.

There are definitely differences in the underlying servers, including the mail agent (Postfix, for the new list).  And different servers, of course... so, email headers will look different.

Thanks for the advice below.  Best regards to all,
  Greg
