I'd like to update the classiccmp server (OS,

soon. To aid in that transition, I will probably
temporarily migrate
all the sites& list to one of our clusters, load the classiccmp
server from scratch, and then migrate everything back. I'll
keep the list posted when I start down that path.
Having recently migrated all the stuff on *.trailing-edge.com to a 2010
era server (as opposed to the 2000 era server it was on - previous
to that it had been on an Alpha with VMS, and previous to that it
had been on a VAX with VMS) with
fresh installs of all the software I was pleasantly
surprised with the advances that have been made in apache and mailman
configuration over time especially with respect to virtual domains etc.
In particular the Ubuntu distribution was very straightforward to deal with...
after I had adopted to the more modern configuration techniques.
On the Google Groups list I manage, the admin interface has an option to
"moderate first post". I suspect it puts all new users in a probation
list, and then whitelists them once the moderator has moderated their
first post to the list. I wonder if the mailman/etc. solutions have
something similar.
