The haskell.org server migration is now complete. Please let us know if you have any problems.

Beginning this week, the majority of mails from haskell.org lists seem to end up in my ISP's spam filter. That would be Yahoo! - I wonder whether others here have seen a similar effect when checking their spam filters?

I don't know whether this is caused by the migration, but it made me wonder about something I recalled reading about whitelisting mailing list senders with ISPs, and a little search found the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitelist http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/basics/ http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/forms_index.html http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/bulkv2.html http://www.novablog.info/2008/10/21/5-simple-steps-to-improving-e-mail-deliv...

So it might be related to the new server. Is whitelisting something the mailing list hosting service should deal with, or is that left to the customer?

I'm fairly sure GMail at least whitelists haskell.org, because I get spam sent via the <list>-owner@haskell.org aliases that invariably ends up in my inbox, apparently bypassing GMail's usually very good spam filtering. Cheers, Simon
