215281 - move email and mailing lists from gila to rheet

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

email and mailing list services need to be moved to rheet as part of the process
of transitioning mozilla.org to the Mozilla Foundation.  Preliminary work can be
done now, but rheet needs to land in its new colo space before the final switch
is flipped.

mail.mozilla.org        CNAME   rheet.mozilla.org
rheet.mozilla.org       A       207.126.111.202

The move seems to have been done. Is this responsible for the huge amount of 
double posts on news.mozilla.org? like
news://news.mozilla.org:119/[e-mail]

Yes.  Dawn spent most of last night trying to stop the duplicates.  She
*appears* to have succeeded, I haven't seen any dupes yet this morning, but I
don't know for sure that she did.  The only posts that are duplicating are
things that were posted via NNTP.  If you mailed it in, it didn't get duped.

Still seeing duplication today via NNTP single-posting.

under the old newsgroup mirroring system, the nntp server pushes new
posts to the mailing list. Mailman, however wants to pull posts. Right
now we're getting duplicates because articles posted via usenet are
getting both pushed and pulled. I tried telling mailman to stop pulling
from usenet but then new posts coming from nntp got held because
they weren't on the mailing list, so i changed things back so we didn't
lose posts.

I think the best way to fix the problem might be to make the news server
stop pushing but i'm going to experiment with adding the nntp server's
from address to the group's whitelist. i'm afraid doing it that way might
result in mailman reposting the message to usenet again but we'll see 
what happens.
