Hello,
A decision has been made to move all of our students over to Google for email
in the next month. Along with that, we are changing all of their email
address as well. Students used to have the email address of address@concealed,
their new address will be address@concealed. We will be forwarding email
from their old email address to their new one at least until the end of the
year, so that's not an issue. However, sending email to lists as well as
admin'ing sympa list via email commands will most likely be problematical.
Has anyone run into this in the past? Does anyone have an ideas on how I can
circumvent any authorization issues without having to modify every list
config that may be effected?

To be honest, I haven't started digging into this yet, I'm thinking that as a
lasts resort I can use postfix to change incoming email from @email.wm.edu to
be from @wm.edu, but, that's a short term solution and a hack at best.

We are currently running v 5.3.3 and assuming all goes well I hope to upgrade
to the most current this summer.

Thanks (I hope) in advance,
Chris Peck
College of William and Mary
Williamsburg, VA
