ok (i have set this up and additionally directed this email to the new
address)

the former is simpler to manage (directly via the portal)
to change the email-alias (currently) ssh access is needed (which is
suboptimal, as it involves necessary interaction by the iem people)

nevertheless, it's ok for now.


one thing that comes to my mind: once there was a DoS-attack to
puredata.info via SMTP. i temporarily closed port:25 (since it was not
needed anyhow), but it is now open again.

basically my email was just a rant about not knowing which user we are
talking about.

anyhow:
i have now (mis)used the "reviewer" group to also be "curator" of the
portal.
so any members of this group have special privileges in the 2 exhibition
folders (apart from being reviewer on the rest of the portal)

being reviewer adds a little extra work: whenever a user "commits" a
page to be published, the reviewer(s) get a notification and can really
publish this content (at their own will; they can also just ignore the
request).



tell me if everything works as expected, especially adding a wikipage.

(btw, what is wrong with wiki-pages being called FrontPage? this is just
as standard as an html-page being called index.html)
