Deutschsprachige CAcert Support Liste

[Daniel Black <daniel AT cacert.org>]

Notice: in English sorry - I can't write in the German language. If someone 
could translate I'd be grateful :-).

CAcert has moved from using mailman to sympa as a mail list manger.

The reason for this was the centralised nature of managing the list was 
making 
it hard to manage and there was no search functionality.

Access to the website will be at a slightly different URL 
https://lists.cacert.org/wws though going to the top level will get you ;
redirected to the right location.

Some of you who have client side certificates in your web browser would of 
notices you don't need a password to access the above URL. We hope you like 
this use of certificates.

The list email addresses are still the same. Your password is the same as 
what 
it was before though it is a global password for all the lists now. Any 
troubles just use the password reset facility.

Your personal setting, like digest subscription, have also been migrated to 
the extent they are supported. If something went wrong I apologize.

The archives have been ported so there is a searchable archives. At some 
point 
in the near future a lot of these will be on public archive hosting services.

If you want to help out you can nominate yourself as a list moderator by 
contacting your list owners. A moderator is a small control to make sure that 
posts by non-subscribers are related to the topic.

You may also notice that there is no longer a subject line identifier. This 
was 
removed to be compatible with DKIM, a strong digital signature authentication 
protocol for validating email. By changing the email content, and breaking 
the 
signature, as they passed though the mail list we make it impossible for the 
receiver to validate the authenticity of the email. As such I have removed 
this feature. If you were filtering on this before you are recommended to 
change your filter to use the 'list-id' email header.

There was a small bug in the migration of names that have non [a-z] 
characters. When they show up as hex escaped please edit them in your 
personal 
preferences menu.

I hope you enjoy this new service.
