Mailing List Server Maintenance, Wednesday 6-8pm

August 19, 2015 by Rob McNicholas

The Department’s mailing list server, lists.eecs.berkeley.edu, will be down for a major upgrade on Wednesday August 19th from 6pm-8pm. During this time the service will be migrated to a new machine and the [mailing list software](http://www.sympa.org/) will be upgraded from the current version (5.4.5) [to the latest version, 6.2.3](http://www.sympa.org/distribution/latest-stable/NEWS).

During the outage, no incoming or outgoing mail will be processed. There will likely be delays in delivering mail as sending machines will wait some amount of time before retrying, but no email should be lost.

Mailing list owners may want to [browse the documentation](http://www.sympa.org/manual/index) to learn about the new features.

If this time is particularly bad for your group, please let us know as soon as possible by email to help@eecs.

UPDATE

[2015-08-19 21:18:57 | Rob McNicholas]

Some problem were encountered during the upgrade which have prevented it from being completed. Some software incompatibilities were encountered that could not be easily solved in the time frame allotted.

We have rolled back the changes and put the old server back into service for now. Due to the DNS changes that were made, the web interface will not be accessible until Thursday morning, but for now mail is being processed and delivered.
