Hi all!
Our IServ system used for mail and mailing lists will be down for maintenance on
TUESDAY, 6TH DECEMBER 2022 15:00 ~ 17:00 UTC
During this time, you won't be able to send or receive any mails using your @reactos.org address. Other servers sending mail to your @reactos.org address will usually try again after the maintenance.
This time, the mailing lists may be down for a few more hours though. Our currently used Mailman 2 mailing list software is no longer supported, and we need to upgrade it to Mailman 3. However, Mailman 3 has been rewritten from scratch, so the upgrade won't be straightforward. For instance, Mailman 3 comes with a new web interface with new URLs, breaking all existing URLs to mailing list posts. The best we can do to keep URLs intact is keeping them in their current state forever, with a link to the new archives for new posts (like the Python Project did for https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/). This is probably better than closing mailing lists altogether (like GNOME did: https://www.theregister.com/2022/10/27/the_gnome_project_is_closing/).
Not that we've been using ros-dev much lately. But it's still the primary spot to reach out to all developers. And I assume even more people are relying on ros-bugs and ros-diffs for their work. Please speak up if you're still using them.
Other services won't be affected by this migration. In particular, all means of communication through Mattermost and the website/forums will stay live.
Best regards,

Hi all!
It took a while, but the mail server and mailing list migration is finally done!
Say hello to https://lists.reactos.org -- which provides a much better web interface to browse, search, and manage our mailing lists. I've migrated ros-announce, ros-dev, ros-diffs, ros-general, and ros-priv. I saw no need for migrating any other lists, though this could be done any time (with full archives) if the need arises. If you're subscribed to any of these lists, nothing changes for you. You will continue to receive your mails as usual. If you want to change your settings, you will need to create an account at https://lists.reactos.org. You can connect that account to one or more E-Mail addresses and configure your subscription settings for all ReactOS mailing lists. The previous autogenerated per-subscription passwords no longer apply.
We're still providing the old archives at e.g. https://reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev to keep existing URLs intact. However, they are no longer updated (and point to the URL of the new archives).
Let me know if anything broke or if you find any broken URLs to the old mailing lists. Or better fix them right away :)
Kudos go again to Martin von Wittich from IServ GmbH, who provided valuable assistance during the migration!
Best regards,
Colin
