This job looks to still be archiving /var/lib/mailman instead of /var/lib/mailman3/ Not sure why it only started failing recently, or if its still needed after the mailman3 upgrade.

Thanks.
Filed https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-chef/issues/628 for that.
Also - those emails should probably go here, not to you. Filed https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-chef/issues/629 for that.

Both issues closed.
None of the MM data is stored locally in MM3, so nuked backups. And then fixed the postfix aliases.

They dont come to me. They went to mailman@lists.linuxfests.org, which I assume was set up during the migration to mailman3. Im guessing something changed in the last few days because we weren't getting the failures before.

Yup, that address was forwarded to root@socallinuxexpo.org, which is managed in google, so I can't see it, but I assume it goes to you.
I've updated Postfix so `mailman` and `root` on any of our hosts goes to this list so cronspam will get visibility.
Meanwhile - backups on MM were nuked as all data, config, and archives are now in the DB in MM3, except a single config file which we generate in Chef.
Sorry I said the above on list, but you had fallen off CC. My bad.
