IETF mailing lists delivery issues resolved
21 May 2024
During a period from May 6 to May 9, a number of messages intended for IETF, IRTF, IAB, IESG, and RFC-Editor email lists were accepted by email services, but not forwarded to the list members or the list archives. All identified messages have now been processed by the intended mailing lists for delivery to current list subscribers, and they will appear in list archives.
These non-delivery issues occurred as the mailing list systems were migrated from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3, which is now complete. The re-injected messages are unmodified, will contain their original <Date> header, and will appear at that date and time in that header in the archives. Of course, the related transport headers for the messages delivered to list members will reflect the time of re-injection.
The IETF Mailarchives remain a reliable record of messages actually distributed to lists.
We believe this concludes work on delivery issues related to the Mailman 3 migration.
As previously noted, all existing lists and list subscriptions have carried forward. List subscribers and owners for email lists at ietf.org, irtf.org, and rfc-editor.org will be redirected to the new, intuitive Mailman 3 web interface, Postorius. There is a step at first login where a subscriber will have to prove the ability to receive mail at the address being logged in with, and the subscriber will establish a new password.
Once a subscriber has created a user at mailman3.ietf.org, that same login information will be used for mailman3.iab.org, mailman3.irtf.org,and mailman3.rfc-editor.org.
Further questions or discussion should be directed to the tools-discuss@ietf.org mailing list.
