Re: DMARC and ietf.org

["Andrew G. Malis" <[e-mail]>]

Michael,

I couldn’t agree more, and this has been discussed multiple times on this
list. We’re still currently using Mailman 2.1.15, which goes back to 2012.
The current 2.1.x release for Mailman is 2.1.20, which is nearly a year
old. There’s also a 3.0.1 release from this past November. Either of those
can handle DMARC rewriting so that mailing lists continue to work. I’m
still not sure why we haven’t upgraded to at least 2.1.20.

Cheers,
Andy
