*** The group's signing key uses the e-mail address ngp-approval-key@ngp.big-8.org. Agreed to leave this as-is for now, as this is just an identifier. We can later consider adding a new identity with a new address, and/or upgrading to a GPGv2 key.

* Infrastructure
** MM has been doing further testing for the IPV6 downtime for our web and mail server. He will raise a ticket with Contabo if necessary.
** Status of cron jobs for offsite backups: No further update from RL.
** MM has implemented UCEProtect filtering on the mail server (which?)
** MM noticed that some mails and bounce messages with mail.big-8.org in the sender address had been disappearing into the bit bucket. He has implemented a partial fix that at least redirects cron messages (sent to root) to the Board's e-mail account. MM to look into adding a mapping of mail.big-8.org to big-8.org addresses, or eliminating the use of mail.big-8.org as a sender address altogether.
** cron error messages relating to our unused Nextcloud instance are now getting through; RL has disabled these messages while MM investigates disabling or uninstalling the instance.
** MM has noticed that our mail/web server is doing searches on unqualified domain names, as if a search list had been set in /etc/resolv.conf, though there is no such line in that file. MM is continuing to investigate the cause.
