I'm starting to look at getting a production mailman-users@mailman3.org list set up and running.
I haven't gotten too far into it, but I see one issue and have a question.
The issue is that there is an MX record for mailman3.org pointing to mail.mailman3.org, but mail.mailman3.org doesn't have an A record; it has a CNAME pointing to mailman.iad1.psf.io which is the canonical name of the server.
RFC 2181, sec 10.3 says the target of and MX must have address records, not CNAME. I.e. mail.mailman3.org should not have a CNAME, but rather an A record pointing to 104.239.228.201 or I suppose instead, the MX for mailman3.org could point directly at mailman.iad1.psf.io.
Anyway, this is not an immediate concern, but will need to be addressed.
For my question, there is a MM 3 installation on the server now done, I think, by Abhilash (@maxking). It seems only partly done. I.e. there's a whole bunch of stuff in /opt/mailman that looks fairly complete, there's some stuff for it in the nginx and postfix configs, there are systemd scripts for starting and stopping mailman, but there's no mailman user or group on the server. This latter may be the result of the PSFs salt management.
Yes, I did setup a Mailman 3 instance on that server, but haven't actually looked at it recently. I was just playing around and probably did not create the Mailman user or Group, but I should have. I hooked everything up though and it was working. There must be configuration files for gunicorn too, to deploy Postorius and Hyperkitty.
Anyway, the question is is this usable? should it be upgraded? what else needs to be done (not in detail, just whatever pieces are known to be missing)?
I guess it should be upgraded to the latest mailman version. I installed everything from the latest master branch (that time) instead from the released version. Although, a fresh install using bundler won't hurt. We can then upgrade our own servers before rolling out the releases ;-)
