Just the mail configuration - so the mails get through. Also the local aliases
to root on osgeo6.

The awstats cronjob is disabled on osgeo6 and tracsvn now. On osgeo6 there is
some local configuration, so I didn't remove it. Didn't check on tracsvn yet.

Aside from this extra delivery last weekend: The consequence from getting a
bulk of meaningless messages every hour these days will be that I will -
again - create a filter to route all these messages into a separate folder
or to /dev/null

I'm sure this wasn't the intended purpose.

Cheers,

Of course not - the service producing the messages should obviously have been
adjusted to not produce those useless messages.

Someone with access on webextra or backup should do that.

Can you ssh into webextra ? I don't see your username in passwd.

Mails from bacula I remember already getting them (or maybe they
were only from the server side?). The bacula configuration on
the server side is under a local git repository, would it help
if I pushed that into a private Gogs repository for review ?
I wouldn't know how to reduce verbosity of those mails to just
receive urgent ones (errors or warnings).

As per postfix changes (probably unrelated to the added noise),
they don't have a clear effect to me. For example, this one:

   myhostname = lists.osgeo.org
  -myorigin = $myhostname
  +myorigin = osgeo6.osgeo.osuosl.org

Why was this change needed ? How does it affect mail delivered by
mailman ?

And later, adding backup.osgeo.osuosl.org to mydestination, why
was it needed ? Does it go togheter with the addition of
`bacula: root` alias ?

Other safe changes should probably just be committed as they are
(welcome to mantra whisperers, btw!)

yes. ldap is enough - even without a home. The mail configuration
there is apparently flawed too - sudo notification for osuadmin
bounces back to me.

Well, first they should get through. That doesn't work yet
either.

they don't have a clear effect to me. For example, this one:

   myhostname = lists.osgeo.org
  -myorigin = $myhostname
  +myorigin = osgeo6.osgeo.osuosl.org

mailman ?

Local mails didn't get through - apparently because the originated from
lists.osgeo.org. mailman shouldn't be affected.

And later, adding backup.osgeo.osuosl.org to mydestination, why
was it needed ? Does it go togheter with the addition of
`bacula: root` alias ?

Those changes are incomplete - and therefore not committed. bacula's
mail still bounce.

I dunno if related, but I just got this mail bounce from trac
notification:

   550 5.7.1 140.211.15.71 does not pass SPF checks for domain
   lists.osgeo.org (in reply to end of DATA command)

Is the sender now osgeo6 instead of lists ?

You now have sudo on that machine too, please keep changes small
and notify of activities.

Ok, thanks. It may still be worth to commit the final changes,
like the ones reguarding board-priv aliases and president
alias syntax fix etc... (`git add -p` is useful for these kind
of things)
