Description Matt Wise 2008-11-12 17:22:26 UTC

For performance and security reasons, the lists.slimdevices.com virtual host should be moved to its own virtual server. This is going to take a bit of downtime and several things need to be checked during the process. First step is to figure out how to not loose any mail messages during the process. Incoming messages are easy, but 'outgoing' ones from the forums are more difficult.

Building VM image with CentOS 5.2 i386 for this purpose. I'll have to first get the OS, mailing list manager, mail server and accounts all created. Once they're set up locally we can do a DNS switch to the new system. We'll leave the old config up and running on forums.slimdevices.com until the DNS switch has occurred completely. Then we'll do a final "download" of the latest messages, and switch over to the new system. 

It should have no direct impact to end users, other than a few hour delay on a couple messages getting through.

Done. Additionally, spam blocking measures have been implemented to keep the mailing lists and server clean. Host is now a separate CentOS 5.2 image.
