Hi Chris!

Thanks for volunteering.  If you'd like to help out with infrastructure 
_generally_, there's a channel on freenode, #twisted-admin, where you can show 
up to discuss what's going on.

As to mailing lists specifically; over a year ago now, I outlined a plan to 
migrate our mail infrastructure:

https://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2016-March/030189.html 
<https://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2016-March/030189.html>

Unfortunately, I never had nearly as much time to work on that as I'd thought I 
would; also, Mailgun is no longer a product of Rackspace; also, I no longer 
work at either Rackspace or Mailgun :).  There's also the issue that the 
service that https://github.com/twisted-infra/lists.twistedmatrix.com/ 
<https://github.com/twisted-infra/lists.twistedmatrix.com/> deploys to, Carina, 
is shutting down: https://getcarina.com <https://getcarina.com/>.  So we need 
to find a new place for it to migrate to if it's going to be a real thing.

However, the generous open-source discount that Mailgun offers to Twisted 
remains in place.

Originally, I'd been nervous about migrating twistedmatrix.com 
<http://twistedmatrix.com/> to Mailgun without having an alternate solution in 
place for mailing lists, because I didn't want to be blasting out any spam that 
we were generating via mailman and ruining our sender score there.  I was also 
under the impression that more of the domain-name configuration had to match up 
in Mailman than actually does; experiments during the latest OS upgrade 
indicate to me that it's a relatively small configuration change.

Disabling automatic subscriptions does seem to have mitigated that almost 
completely, and now we're on a recent enough OS that we'll get security updates 
for mailman, at least.  Plus, Mailgun will give me better visibility than I 
currently have if we are generating such bad messages.  As such I'll probably 
migrate our main mail delivery / forwarder pipeline to mailgun later today, 
allowing us to migrate individual addresses or lists to some other system 
rather than doing something all at once.

Users with @twistedmatrix.com email addresses will need to get an SMTP password 
token from me in order to be able to properly send outbound DKIM-signed 
messages.  I am pretty sure you all have alternate ways of reaching me :-).

If I manage to screw up mail routing so bad that you can't reach me via this 
mail address, by the way, and you need to report a problem after this move, you 
can send messages to mail-admin-315...@glyph.im 
<mailto:mail-admin-315...@glyph.im>.
