I've been moving webmail over from Bytemark to Mythic Beasts, and it's nearly ready, the only remaining problem is that the Spsmassassin integration in using (spamass-milter) isn't correctly picking up the name for the destination mailbox.

I think that the problem is that it runs to early in the processing pipeline, before postfix has done the alias lookup Allegedly, it can lookup aliases at process time but it doesn't seem to be doing that.

The alternative is to use spampd, a wrapper around SA that acts as an LMTP proxy, and is therefore well past alias translation.

Of course, there's still a problem! spampd doesn't use SA's per user preferences. I hacked the previous version to do so, but the author rejected my patch as they'd just done a rewrite. Find to see how much work it's going to be to fix it, I guess

Merging into 2.6 wasn't very painful and the code is up and running now. I've even submitted a merge request to upstream!

Squeeee! I'm fairly sure that was the last thing that needed fixing/looking at. I've already tested sending mail (as part of dkms), and that's all setup and working (with a script that can generate new dkms keys every month!).

Just need to move over actual emails and update dns, then I can get the old servers turned off. Eeek.

I kind of wish I felt worse about moving away from Bytemark, but they moved away first when they sold themselves to a faceless conglomerate without really telling anyone. Shame, but I'm looking forward to Mythic, and (given the discount from their job advert challenge) it's going to bed much cheaper for a bigger machine (£16/month for 2 core 4GB vs £32/month for a pair of 1 core 1GB).

I should pull down all the config. I'm very tempted to wipe and reinstall to check that I've got everything, and to tidy up wrong turnings. I'm going to think about that a bit more.
