-We have two lists servers. One on mccoy, one on ood.
-====== Ecartis ======
-This runs on mccoy, and enjoys the same setup as mccoy (blacklisting, whitelisting, yellowlisting, redlisting, addyourminorityherelisting).
-  *  It's crap. Things break. It should be avoided.
-  *  All admin is done by email (subscription, user adding, etc etc) (unless you're root on tardis)
-====== Mailman ======
-This runs on ood. The setup is very debian and boring and default. The lists file should probably be backed up.
-  *  Admin is by email and by web, for example: http://lists.tardis.ed.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/ilovekfc
-  *  It's not got any spam filtering on it... yet.
-  *  To make a new list:
-  ood:/etc/mailman# newlist ilovekfc
-  Enter the email of the person running the list: bung@tardis.ed.ac.uk
-  Initial ilovekfc password:
-  To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
-  equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the
-  `newaliases' program:
-  ## ilovekfc mailing list
-  ilovekfc:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-admin:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-bounces:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-confirm:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-join:         "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-leave:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-request:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-subscribe:    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe ilovekfc"
-  ilovekfc-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe ilovekfc"
-  Hit enter to notify ilovekfc owner...
-  ood:/etc/mailman# vim /etc/aliases # like it says
-  ood:/etc/mailman# newaliases
-====== Moving lists from ecartis to mailman ======
-  *  Make the new list on ood, as above. The following assumes you're the list admin (if you're not you probably should make yourself, and switch things over when things are stable). Maybe everything could be done with files. Or maybe something in the 'listadmin' package will do this all for you.
-  *  On mccoy you can find the subscribers by:
-  root@mccoy:/var/lib/ecartis/lists/listname# cat users | awk '{print $1}'
-  *  Spam these users into http://lists.tardis.ed.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/listname/members/add
-  *  Forward listname@tardis to listname@lists.tardis by changing the entries in mccoy:/etc/postfix/listar.aliases
-  # Aliases for 'listname' mailing list.
-  listname: listname@lists.tardis.ed.ac.uk
-  listname-owner: listowner@tardis.ed.ac.uk
-  *  newaliases on mccoy
-  *  All should be done! Tell the list admins the new preferred ways to subscribe to the list (i.e. web interface and whatnot, find the links in the web interface).
-  *  At some point, postgrey died when I was doing this. My fault? Who knows. Make sure it's running on mccoy or things will die.
-  *  The default behaviour of ecartis is to have the reply going to the list, in mailman it goes to the sender by default. Change this in: http://lists.tardis.ed.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/listname/?VARHELP=general/reply_goes_to_list if you care.
-====== Archives ======
-  *  By default, mailman archives lists, and publishes without restrictions. Fortunately, the software also allows you to publish them privately (mailman gives all list members a password). Of course, admins have the choice of disabling archiving completely.
-====== Policy ======
-There seem to be a plethora of mailing lists. Current policy seems to be that the list admin must have a Tardis account, but group accounts aren't required.
