989327 - Affiliates mailing list not available?

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(mozilla.org :: Discussion Forums, task)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

Sorry if this isn't the right component, but I'm not quite sure of the nature of the problem.

There's an entry for an affiliates discussion forum on the list of discussion forums: https://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#affiliates

However, the link to the mailman page for the mailing list gives the error "No such list affiliates". The Google Group link seems to be working, and I can't really tell if the newsgroup link is working as Thunderbird doesn't seem to know what to do with it when I click on it (I also never use newsgroups so I don't know what to do with it either! :P).

We'd like to have the list up, even if it's low-to-no traffic, as we occasionally want to direct people to a place where they can discuss things about Affiliates (as was the case when I went looking to see how the list was doing).

Thanks for the help!

The newsgroup is working, although there are only two messages in the group - one from 2011 and one from 2013. I'm not sure what's wrong with the mailing list link - over to server-ops to investigate.

This group was created in bug 681664 and should still exist.

The underlying mailman list doesn't exist on the mailman server.  Not sure how that happened.  Do we want to re-create the mailing list or retire it altogether?

Ok, the mailing lists [e-mail] is configured and live. Since the newsgroup and G-Groups are already live. I imagine this will just start working with the next few hours.

I made you, mkelly@m.c the list admin just to get the list created. See email for list credentials.   
From there, you can make list administrator and moderator changes yourself. I am also glad to update if needed.

Verified, list appears to be working and I have admin access: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.affiliates/qv10RjJ2ps4

Thanks for the help!
