Subject: procmail: procmail.org homepage gone

Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 12:45:49 +0100

Package: procmail
Version: 3.22-25
Severity: minor

Hi,

it seems that since very recently, http://www.procmail.org/ is no more
procmail's web page, but instead redirects to
https://gustavus.edu/alumni/. (Still worked on 13th of October 2015, but
no more worked on 20th of November 2015, see
http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.procmail.org)

Given the target URL of the redirect I don't suspect a domain grabber
but a removed VHost configuration on a web server which has a redirect
to its hosting facility in the fallback VHost configuration. It was
hosted at the Gustavus Adolphus College fort at least close to 15yrs.

See http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.procmail.org

So I wonder if the Homepage header should be removed from the package.

According to whois, the procmail.org domain is still owned by Stephen
van den Berg, procmail author, so I have contacted him regarding this.

(So, for now, I'm going to consider this as a bug in the procmail.org domain
more than a bug in the procmail package).

Thanks.

Thanks. I was not aware of who should be the domain owner. There was
also a recent change in the whois entry (2015-11-13), but that may
have just the annual renewal.

Feel free to tag it with "upstream". ;-) And thanks for taking care of this.
