[Dune-devel] DUNE Mail Server

[Ospina De Los Rios, Santiago]

Dear Oliver, dear Carsten,


thanks a lot for offering paying the fee for the first months! This at least give us some time to think and to allocate time on finding a better alternative.


@oliver, I lack the expertise to set up and maintain a mail server myself so I would very much prefer a ready-to-use solution.

@oliver, definitely, a footnote thanking sponsors should be no problem! I already proposed something in the repository, please check it out :-)


Best,

Santiago

Hi all,

supposedly I (i.e. TU Dresden) can provide more server capacities,
but not the man power to set up an actual mail server.

[BTW: I note saying "Hosted by TU Dresden" somewhere in our web presence
would be much appreciated.]

If we are staying with Gandi, I volunteer to pay the fee for the
first year.

Best,
Oliver
