[Coco] Retiring mailing list on January 1, 2026

[Fred Hicks]

Dennis,
    I certainly know the challenges of operating a malman system.  With 300
plus lists and domain spf, dkim and dmarc configurations for delivery to
the big email providers like yahoo and google.

Though I am the CIO now, I have 30 years of email administration under my
belt across Google for Workspace, Groupwise, UNIX sendmail and 150,000
mailboxes.

I offer it as an option and can make a test list ready in the very near
future.

With anything, options should be weighed carefully.

For transparency about who I am, I am including my linked in profile.

Best
Fred
