Transer @laneta.apc.org email addresses to the MFPL control panel

  • Enter all user accounts into control panel. Be sure to create usernames that are the same as the first part of the user's current email address
  • Create a map for conflicts (a list laneta usernames that already exist in MFPL so we have to create different ones in MFPL; hopefully there won't be a lot)
  • Configure mx1 to allow login by just the initial part of the email address. It must be backwards compatible - so it allows login by both the initial part and the full email address.
  • Configure mail.mayfirst.org to relay logins for laneta users to mx1, so any laneta users can ues mail.mayfirst.org as their incoming or outgoing mail server.
  • Configure laneta's webmail to login via mail.mayfirst.org rather than mx1
  • Send email to all users asking them to:
    • Change to using starttls for imap/pop and sending mail
    • Change to loging in with just their username
    • Change incoming and outgoing mail servers to: mail.mayfirst.org
  • Support may be required during this period to help folks with their changes and also perhaps to exports addresses from Laneta's roundcube to MFPL's roundcube
  • Auto create email addresses in the MFPL control panel for each laneta user in the form: username@username.mayfirst.org.
  • Create hosting order for laneta.apc.org on gaspar in the control panel
  • Auto create a forwarding address in the laneta.apc.org hosting order that relays mail from username@laneta.apc.org to username@username.mayfirst.org. If a user has more than one laneta.apc.org email address, they can choose to forward all mail to a single user account, or we can create multiple user accounts in the form username2@username.mayfirst.org. This forwarding address will be permanent. It will be transparent to the user.
  • Run script on mx1 that searches for all laneta email addresses that have logged in in the last 6 months and do not have an account on gaspar. Notify all users that they will no longer be able to user their account if they don't join by August XX.
  • Prepare script that copies all email for laneta users from mx1 to gaspar.
  • Ensure no users are logging in directly to mx1 (all users should be logging into mail.mayfirst.org).
  • At this point, all logins are happening on mail.mayfirst.org which is transparently relaying the login to mx1. And all email is being delivered to mx1.
  • At the cutoff time: change the MX record for laneta.apc.org to point to gaspar; final rsync of all email from mx1 to gaspar; update mail.mayfirst.org to relay logins to gaspar.
