For development of Linux kernel, a new postal service was commissioned

The command responsible for maintaining the infrastructure for the development of the Linux kernel, announced About the introduction of a new postal service Mailings Lists.Linux.dev . In addition to traditional mailing lists for Linux kernel developers on the server, making mailings and other projects with domains other than Kernel.org are allowed.

All mailing lists served on Vger.kernel.org will be transferred to a new server with saving all addresses, subscribers and identifiers. Due to stopping the accompaniment of the newsletter server Majordomo on a new server, a private engine is involved. In general, everything will remain as before, only the message headlines will be changed and the subscription and unsubscribers will be reworked. In particular, instead of a shared address for all mailings, a separate address for subscription / unsubscribe will be offered for each mailing.

The new service will solve problems with the loss of messages that are observed last time on Vger.kernel.org (for example, some messages were lost and did not fall into the Web archives Lore.kernel.org or lkml.org ). The relevance of the Web archive is planned to be raised by the prioritization of sending new messages on Lore.kernel.org. The server will also provide compatibility with the .org/wiki/dmarc”> DMARC to improve the quality of delivery of messages to recipients.
