Seems like a perfectly sensible and modern way to deploy. You can log
into the running container fine and twiddle as needed.

Shrug, personal taste.

It certainly notifies by e-mail, I've not yet worked out how it treats

It has import filters for mailman and maybe phpBB but also if we ever
got to a point where we dropped the current systems entirely they can
just be turned read only and continue to be used as archives.

replacing two systems with one.
