[Coco] Retiring mailing list on January 1, 2026

[Dennis Bathory-Kitsz]

After all these years, this message came an hour ago from Pair Networks, 
where I lease my server:

[
Several years ago we began phasing out the PairList service by disabling 
new list creation. Today we are announcing its final End-of-Life date: 
January 1, 2026.
You are receiving this notice because your Pair Networks hosting account 
still has an active PairList.
Over time, the free PairList mailing list program (based on GNU Mailman) 
has become unreliable as most mail hosts now require strict email 
validation standards (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). PairList cannot support these 
features, causing messages to be delayed, marked as spam, or rejected. 
Because of this declining reliability, we believe the service no longer 
meets our standards and will be discontinued.
PairList has served our users well for many years. While we are sad to 
retire it, we are exploring a more reliable replacement service for the 
future.

I will download all the content and make it available on a 
password-protected page -- at some point when I have the time, that is.

If you like, you can sign into the list with your credentials and 
download the GZip'd archives yourselves, about 270 files monthly from 
October 2003 to the present.

In the meantime, and while I wait to hear from Pair about their 
suggestions for migration, CoCo group suggestions for migration are 
welcome.
