no, not really, it was a convenience at the time.

I very much doubt we need the rest either:

• I've never heard of sec-ops
• I don't think anyone has used ops@wikimedia.org, ops-private@wikimedia.org or engineering@wikimedia.org
• I don't think anyone uses mobile@ (or even mobile-feedback-l)
• I don't know about announcements@ but foundation-l was renamed many years ago...
• No idea about otrsadmin & search

It might be worth it to grep logs for them and see if there has been anything but spam.

Me neither, removed that one.

I don't think anyone has used ops@wikimedia.org, ops-private@wikimedia.org or engineering@wikimedia.org

That one, ops@wm, actually just popped up on T124516

Change 266316 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dzahn):
phabricator: don't use communitymetrics@, use wikitech

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/266316

@mobile do you guys need mobile@wikimedia.org , the email address? It used to be this:

mobile: mobile-feedback-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Is that still used somewhere?

@JKrauska can you do this kind of thing on your side even if both addresses are external on lists? Or should that stay in exim? Do you happen to know who uses this?

announcements: foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org, wikimediaannounce-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Yes, it can be done on gApps via the groups system.

on mx1001, zgrep through all of /var/log/exim4/*, number of hits:

engineering@wikimedia.org: 1

mobile@wikimedia.org: 14 (and 9 x reject.log) but there is: mobile-feedback-l@lists.wikimedia.org <mobile@wikimedia.org>

ops@wikimedia.org: 7

ops-private@wikimedia.org: 0

otrsadmin@wikimedia.org: 0

search@wikimedia.org: 0 (there is optoutresearch@ but not this)

watchmouse@wikimedia.org: 14

search@ has been requested by Tomasz in 2015 only -> T98415

i removed: ops-private@, otrsadmin@

while most things have been removed ops@, search@, mobile@, engineering@ and watchmouse@ are left and i'd keep them

announcements@ waiting for OIT to add it

Eliza has setup announcements@ (http://wmf.zendesk.com/requests/10081)

removing it on our side
