Hello,

Happy to inform that beta got is now routing through its new working mx ( mx.beta.wmflabs.org ). We had discussions regarding adding a separate mx for beta back in[1] and [2]. Today, we have the mx records added for beta ( dig +short -t mx beta.wmflabs.org ) and beta is sending out mails with a $domain part set as beta.wmflabs.org and bounces coming right back to it. This would make us testing patches related to polonium easy as we never had a polonium equivalent in beta. BounceHandler is working perfectly in the cluster, and bounces are redirected to the API installed in deploymentwiki[3]. In the production cluster, we still have the deployment to group0 wikis[4], which we hope to get done soon.

Thanks to Jeff, hoo, Yuvipanda and other devs for the fast deployment and discussions.
