Some minor bugfixes have been applied. We are still waiting for staff time to become available for documentation before Mailman can be released as a full service.
33% of the people with insecure settings have fixed their configuration. The ITS have asked for regular updates. We have received some useful feedback from Robin Walker about the secure access Web pages. A number of the Web pages which document configuration of specific email clients have been updated to fix problems and try to remove ambiguity. BT appear to block SMTP traffic to ports 465 and 587: if this turns out to be the case then people using BT dialup and ADSL links will have to find an SMTP smarthost to use within BT.
Earth Sciences have moved to their new mail system. Kings are still at the half way state in their migration to their Exchange system.
The operations team who cover postmaster@cam need to be consulted about replacements to the current shared mailbox on CUS, in particular about possible use of RT or some other ticket tracking system.
Most of the external login pages to Webmail have now been removed. A couple of sites asked us for some time to put their affairs in order.
Postmaster@hermes has signed up to the AOL feedback system. There seem to be a steady tickle of people reporting messages as spam even if they are told that it is not doing anything useful. In the case that mail to @lists mailing lists is reported as spam we are contacting the list managers to ask them to ensure that AOL users who are members of the lists actually want to remain on the list.
