Folks,=20


As of now, all current podlings (as defined in=20
http://incubator.apache.org/podlings.xml) have been listed in DNS as if=20
they were already TLPs.  i.e. groovy.apache.org  now exists.

This was done as a result of improving the internal mail handling with
the ASF, it highlighted an issue that has been masked by the old setup
for a number of years now.=20

As some of you may know, for a a number of years now, infrastructure has
been rewriting incoming emails for podlings.=20

i.e.  dev@groovy.incubator.apache.org -> dev@groovy.apache.org=20

This was done so that at the time of graduation, there was very little
change required to a podling's email setup (just changing the outgoing
address actually).  Now, with the improved internal setup the spam/av
scanning stack MTAs were failing to deliver mails because
'groovy.apache.org' did not exist in DNS, and so it failed the dns
checks.=20

We do not expect any negative fallout from this change, but this is a
heads up that going forward all new podlings will need to be added to
DNS as a TLP, before their mailing lists will work.=20

This does apply to all podlings, not just groovy (in case there was any
doubt).

Note this email is not /private/ but private@incubator is the best way I
can reach all podling mentors, and those who request new podlings etc
most easily.  So do no worry about the mixed private and public lists in
the to: line.=20


Many thanks,
