| Mailing List Migration Project |
| </h1> |
| <h3 id="migration">Hermes → Mailgw</h3> |
| <p> |
| As part of the Apache Infrastructure team's goals of modernization and |
| service improvement, we are pleased to announce the general availability |
| of "mailgw", the long-awaited replacement for hermes. |
| <p> |
| This document addresses common questions related to the migration of mail |
| and mailing lists to the new server. |
| <p> |
| <h3 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h3> |
| <p> |
| <h4>What are hermes and mailgw, and why are we migrating?</h4> |
| <p> |
| Hermes and mailgw are hostnames for the servers that process mail to |
| @apache.org email addresses. They also process mailing list traffic |
| for all ASF projects, e.g. "users@httpd.apache.org". |
| <p> |
| Hermes is a nearly 10 year old legacy server that pre-dates Infra's modern |
| configuration management strategy, and pre-dates many modern email |
| technologies like TLS encryption. |
| <p> |
| Mailgw is a modern server using currently available technology, and |
| under full configuration management, greatly improving reliability and |
| reproducibility of the service in case of failures. |
| <p> |
| The migration process moves @apache.org and @$project.apache.org email |
| services from hermes onto mailgw, ensuring that email services remain |
| compliant with modern standards to the greatest extent possible. |
| <p> |
| <h4>Will we lose any email?</h4> |
| <p> |
| No. Despite a list being migrated from hermes to mailgw, mail which was |
| 'in flight' to hermes will still be delivered to the list subscribers on |
| hermes. Once the list is fully migrated, we will reroute email to mailgw |
| automatically. This process is transparent to users. |
| <p> |
| <h4>Will this affect official archives?</h4> |
| <p> |
| No. We manage archives through mailing list subscriptions to the PonEE |
| archival service and list subscriptions to the mbox-vm archiver. Mail |
| delivered via either hermes or mailgw will make it to the official archives. |
| <p> |
| <h4>What about unofficial mbox archives?</h4> |
| <p> |
| hermes-based ~apmail/lists/project.a.o/archives accessible via ezmlm's |
| archive commands (get/index/thread/etc) will not be transferred to mailgw. |
| They will be archived for posterity and we can provide them upon |
| Member request. Access all mailing list archives via the |
| official URL <a href="https://lists.apache.org">https://lists.apache.org</a>. |
| <p> |
| <h4>Will the system preserve queued moderation mail?</h4> |
| <p> |
| Yes. |
| <p> |
| <h4>Will the system preserve settings and subscribers/mods?</h4> |
| <p> |
| Yes. |
| <p> |
| <h4>What do I do if there is a problem?</h4> |
| <p> |
| Email users@infra.apache.org or open an Infra Jira ticket. |
| <p> |

| <h3> APMAIL Volunteer Specific Information</h3> |
| |
| #### Will apmail volunteers be able to access the new server? |
| |
| Yes, apmail access will be re-granted upon request. Ask Infra if you |
| wish to continue as an apmail volunteer, and we will add you to the new |
| server. |
| |
| #### What is the actual hostname of the new server? |
| |
| mailgw-he-de.apache.org |
| |
| #### How do we know if a list has been migrated? |
| |
| The list will exist on mailgw-he-de.apache.org, and the list directory |
| on hermes will contain a flag file called 'migrated-to-mailgw'. |
| |
| #### Do apmail processes remain the same? |
| |
| For the most part, tools in ~apmail/bin will perform as expected, and |
| ezmlm commands (subscriptions, moderation, etc.,) work as expected. |
| Contact Infra if anything doesn't work as expected. |
| |
