Hi Dominik,

I am really disappointed about your message. I do not expect you to be
delighted by the circumstances and I am sorry for not having been able
to communicate this in a timely manner. As we all, I am doing these
things in my spare time. With my current schedule I just cannot plan on
such big tasks days before. This weekend, I had some spare time and
decided to move on with this project and I am quite happy with the
results. The downtimes were kept to a minimum and everything - except
the DKIM stuff - seems to work.

I was not aware about any other plans for moving email. And as this
project impacted all infrastructure services, coordinating this with any
team member, would have just been far too much overhead.

During the migration I had to do some changes on every system as the IP
addresses changed. Along with this, some listening addresses for the
services and hosts for the interconnection of some systems had to be
adapted. I did not plan to do any other changes to the systems.

I expect you to be more constructive regarding these issues and to look
more for solutions than complaining and blaming at anyone who might be
responsible. Team members, who just start complaining and blocking when
it comes to resolving problems that they may not be responsible for, are
of no use to me.

Email, as well as many other infrastructure services, are in very bad
shape. They work, but the systems are outdated and the configuration
partly very complicated. I plan to care more of systems being updated
and actively maintained in the future.

Given your email, I feel forced to care about this issue myself. Which
most likely means to discontinue DKIM for the time given.

Mario
