I've migrated all OSGeo EMail aliases to the new "mail" VM, therefore
thy should not be affected by the migration.  Anyhow I do understand
the need to have a functional SMTP delivery on "osgeo1" for the
remaining local applications.
It would be preferred for Drupal et alias to make a proper SMTP connect
to "mail.osgeo.org", but I'll try to create a delivery-only setup for
Postfix as an interim fallback.

I didn't plan to force-expire ML admin passwords without negotiation,
anyhow changing passwords every now and then doesn't sound too bad -
especially if they've been entered over unencrypted lines.
Note that I didn't plan to play the role of the future OSGeo Mailman
maintainer, I just did the migration and I'll try to help tackling the
remaining issues as best as I can.

Cheers,
	Martin.
