??changed:
- There are no static Mailman aliases; instead, is looks at
'/var/mailman/lists/list_name/domains/' and check for files that represent the
domain of the list, such as 'gnu.org',
-'nongnu.org', 'mail.freesoftware.fsf.org', 'fsfeurope.org', 'fsf.org',
'gnupress.org', 'nevrax.org', 'prep.ai.mit.edu'.

- * there is some Exim code to take those files into account (I was the code,
but maybe it's not in use anymore)

- Archives are updated every 2 hours (as of May 2007).
Archives are updated every 30 minutes (?) as of May 2011.
??changed:
- * private archives are managed by Mailman:
/var/mailman/archives/private/list_name.mbox/list_name.mbox (use the 'arch'
command to manage them; look at the --wipe command)

loaded machine. Spiders tend to put lists.gnu.org to its knees :/
This is an effort from address@hidden to reduce the disk I/O on this already
loaded machine. Spiders tend to put lists.gnu.org to its knees, unfortunately.
??changed:
- All this is to bypass the fact address@hidden won't agree with sharing
access to the Savannah database - which is how *forge is supposed to work these
days.
The cron job runs on the vcs-noshell host, file /etc/cron.d/sv. The script
being run is named sv_mailman.
??changed:
- lists.gnu.org makes a series of checks that will reject mail from, say,
'address@hidden' because this is apparently not a valid e-mail. E-mail
validation is performed against at Mailman, and eventually falls-back against
fencepost (Unix users and the shares /com/mailer/aliases).

??changed:
- Outdated information
-
- At a point, the checks also rejected mail between 2 mailing lists, so we
could not use a mailing list as a valid sender. [Now it seems that works again.]
-
- To bypass the list2list restriction, "savannah-bounces" was somehow
whitelisted - but while it should have received the bounces and other erroneous
mails, this e-mail name clashes with Mailman's *listname*-bounce naming
convention, and currently that e-mail even rejects traffic with error '550
Unknown user'.
-
- We tried having savannah's IP whitelisted but that didn't work either
because there's an intermediate machine/IP/hop (lists.gnu or mp.gnu, I think).

-Anti spam
-
- Mail can be forwarded to address@hidden which, using the Mailman mail
interface, can pipeline your list with a conservatively-configured SpamAssassin.
