We use your great list serve software to run a list that's valued. We are changing our email host (to Google Apps) and recently changed the MS record associated with our domain name, gatheringwaters.org. Do I need to do anything to our mailman acct and list serve to ensure it will still work?

Mailman is not Listserv[1]

The MX record in DNS for gatheringwaters.org mow goes to Google. This is a problem. You will have to arrange somehow for the list mail to be relayed back to the Mailman server.

If your lists are hosted by your old host, you may have to continue that hosting arrangement, possibly with a new domain such as lists.gatheringwaters.org.

[1] Please do not refer to Mailman lists as 'listservs'. Listserv(r) is a registered trademark[2] owned by the developer of a particular email list management product, and it shouldn't be used generically.

My personal interest in this is not to protect the Listserv(r) trademark, but rather to avoid confusing Listserv(r) email list management software with any other email list management software including GNU Mailman of which I am a developer.
