Your request (#10245) has been received, and will be reviewed by our support staff soon.

Hi Daniel,

I have created the groups in LDAP to be Google Groups.

Thanks,
Byron

Hi Byron,

I appreciate the quick response. I have removed these on our side.

Thanks,

Daniel

I received a bounce back. I checked my spelling in LDAP and google groups, and everything looks ok. Could it be something your side?

Hi Byron,

i'm afraid not, all i did was remove it on our side like we did with other aliases before.

Let me add it back for now.

@bbogaert i added it back, but i'm not sure why it failed

Hi Daniel,

I'm working on this again and have recreated the google group and ldap entry. Can you remove it so we may test again?

Thanks,
Byron

We tried this out and talked on IRC. I commented them and Byron added them but it wouldn't work, there were still bounces. Reverted, while there seemed no such issue with the fundraising aliases in T128647.

@bbogaert maybe we can give it another try now that the Wikimania travel season is mostly over? I don't know why it failed but there must be something that makes these aliases different from all the others we moved without such issues.

@Dzahn Can we try this again? We have made the Google and LDAP groups. I think we just have to wait for the "previous cache callout" to expire, then the mail will flow.

Thanks,
Byron

@bbogaert Yes, happy to try that again. I can remove it right now if you want. I am also on IRC. - Thanks, Daniel
