Getting closer! :-) Can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it's *not* and oncoming train! :-) latest (high-level) update bits/status here: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:dreamhost_exodus
And yes, did add SPF on list of things to be done/checked: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:mail_and_lists
What mostly remains is: o set up (to be) @balug.org email infrastructure (not too huge a task, since most of the MTA and anti-spam infrastructure is already in place on that target host) o get raw mbox list archvies from DreamHost.com (hopefully that takes a few working days or less) o some updates and notifications, and do the big DNS changes to get off of DreamHost.com (then we're actually free of DreamHost.com) o various follow-through items
Random: we have over 500 users in ye olde PhpNuke database (hopefully eventually restore that old content to a set of static archived pages; nowadays, much more feasible to work out the kinks to crawl/extract that content, after first setting it up on some small virtual machine just for that purpose).

Status/tracking - DreamHost.com exodus FYI, added a wiki-page to track at least high-level steps & status: https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:dreamhost_exodus
I'm expecting to be fully off DreamHost.com by end of this month, at least if all goes sufficiently and reasonably well. Mostly just takes some available time for me to crank through the remaining steps (and one step - or set of steps, for DreamHost.com to do). Highly optimistically I'd say we'd be done by mid-month ... but more realistically, within 7 to 10 days ... so ... that'd be by 2017-08-22. Let's see if we can make/beat that target! :-)
