Happy to announce that the mailman migration is
over. We are now on
version 2.1.18 and running on a jessie machine, fermium.
Here is a summary of changes that are relevant to users and list admins:
Administrators / Moderators
- Emails are validated more accurately. Spam prevention.
- Poster password added. Allows users who may meet moderation
standards to automatically have their emails accepted.
- Cookies now set the secure flag when over HTTPS (default).
- Sessions can be invalidated through logouts on administrator and
moderation interfaces.
Users
- DMARC improvements solve issues users have with Yahoo and Outlook
regarding mail. This isn't done yet but unblocked with the new version.
- Password reminder link is now on the roster page (private archives).
- Emails can be automatically accepted to private lists if a poster
password is used provided by list administrators.
