Someday List:

• Re-work 8082
  • For AT and AIT
  • With: Jim Toth

1. Get a test server to successfully use LDAP for sending mail.  I'm still not comfortable enough with LDAP to say how long it will take me; this is something I need to study.  I think it would take at least a month, but at least I think now know enough about sendmail to get it working, much more than the first time I looked at this.
    
2. Get the current sendmail running on mira back into the build system--since I had to redo the sendmail.cf, the rpm I built no longer will install exactly as we have it running.  Also should change 'mira.vcu.edu' in a couple places to 'ccso.vcu.edu', and should get it working with the bld command instead of just rpm.  A week or two's worth of work.
    
3. Handle log rotation on europa and possibly ganymede.  Probably a day or two.
    
4. Move search.vcu.edu back to juno, so callisto can be our test server again.  Two days to a week; I'll need to coordinate with John S to do this, since he knows more about analog (which I don't think we need to fiddle with, because I think it's already only on juno) and htdig (which we definitely do need to move) than I do.
    
5. Sieve on cyrus (a server-side mail filtering program--folks with webmail could use this).  I'd started looking at this long ago, but it got lost in the rush of other projects.  I'd like to take a look at it again at some point.  No idea on time.
    
6. Clean my desk.  Probably about 7 months of work.  (Actually, I think I could get it down in an afternoon, and expect to, soon.)
    
7. Web Site Update CGI Script
   Create a cgi script to present a web interface of all files to be updated, added, deleted to production server from the staging server.  Allowing the script runner the option to not allow (uncheck) any set of files to be updated, added or deleted.

Done

1. Ongoing Migration Stuff
   1. Usenet:
      mira has usenet running now, and is filling up with articles.  I don't know how to get old articles off the old server, but since there were only two articles in the vcu.* hierarchy and both of no long-term interest, I've decided I don't care enough to fix this.  I've decided on next week sometime for the switch of the name usenet.vcu.edu.  Probably about half a day's to a day's more work.  Specifically, while it's filling up just fine, the setting up of reader permission hasn't been finished yet--right now, you can only read from localhost and you can't post even from there.
       
   2. Massmail: 
      I'm moving the scripts over yesterday and today; I expect to be testing them later today, and for there to be few snags.  Done by tomorrow I expect.
       
   3. CCSO:
      Done as far as I know.  We may want to tweak sendmail more--I think it's giving some weird bounces (mentioning procmail) when double bouncing (which goes to postmaster), although I haven't seen these for regular bounces.
       
   4. Listserv:
      Done as far as I know.  I think there might be some non-redirecting web links; need to analyse the logs a bit more, and I (we) need to decide which machine to move the venus name to. Probably jupiter, and set up venus.vcu.edu as something that redirects everything to either lists.vcu.edu (if it's a list archive thing) or www.vcu.edu for everything else.  Maybe 2 hours max on those two things.  Probably less.
       
   5. Tweak update procedure:
      There are also several tweaks that need to be done to the update procedure.  Right now, for example, various alias duplications aren't being properly checked for (which is probably the biggee).  Rick Raughton has some things that check for this, and I'm pretty sure he's handling them as they arise, but we should stop them from arising, as it slightly corrupts the data that gets sent to the people db.  There are a few other tweaks that need to be made, and some others that probably ought to be made.
