that mail server has many problems. It had also been up for 480 days.

In terms of mailing list issues...

There were 27,000 backed up messages awaiting approval or review
(mostly on the codel list).

http://wiki.list.org/DOC/4.74%20How%20do%20I%20manually%20remove%20held%20messages%20from%20the%20command-line%3F

Also there are quite a few users that should probably be purged.

A better anti-spam setup seems to be needed, on a newer OS with LTS
support. I have a linode servers with ubuntu 15.04 partially setup,
but am still sorting out how to do reverse dns right and if there is
any decent spamassassin, SPF, etc magic to add, soon would be a good
time.

Sending this also to the codel list in the hope that I didn't break
that along the way.

Adding SPF records and signing outgoing mail with DKIM is a good idea to
avoid *outgoing* mail getting marked as spam. As far as incoming,
spamassassin combined with some on-SMTP filtering (RBLs and/or
greylisting depending on your preferences and tolerance for mail delay)
is a good first step at least. :)

An updated SSL certificate also seems like a really good idea.

Thankfully, it seems Let's Encrypt is starting to spin up:
