It should also be pointed out that the list address wouldn't change;
on our end we'd point the MX for lists.xenproject.org to kernel.org's
mail servers (or something like that).

Hi all,

I just wanted to add that the kernel.org infrastructure is very well
maintained -- I can recommend it.

Mailman2 is still maintenanced and under very wide usage. There is no real
need to "migrate" to mailman 3.

DKIM and DMARC are not part of the list software - they are part of the used
Email-Server (MTA) and typically easy to configure (DMARC resp. SPF are just
DNS records to set) - independently from the mailing list (and where it runs)
you need it configured anyways for the xenproject.org traffic.

The list software stack at kernel list is not much "newer" - it bases byself
on similiar long existing software projects.

In case you need some help setting that up i'm happy to help you.


many thanks and
cheers,



niels.
