Dear All, I regret the filmscanners list will temporarily be suspended whilst it is moved to another server.
This was supposed to happen 23:00 tonight, but I am at the mercy of my ISP and they may turn it off at any time today, tomorrow, who knows... they don't seem to. Mail sent to the list should be spooled, but of course there will not be any delivery of mail. Please do NOT resend mails because they are not arriving! They should not be lost, but will be queued until the list is back in action. Resending will only increase the backlog. In fact I would be grateful if you could please send an absolute minimum until after the list returns. Regrettably perhaps, it will be returning to the box on my darkroom floor, where it was until a year ago. I will transfer all list and digest members so there is no need for anyone to do anything. I am taking this step because the 470GBP hosting charge for the next year is just too much, and because Majordomo has been a total PITA from an admin point of view. I apologise that this msg is very short notice due to my having set up the local listserver in preparation. I only just noticed that it was already grabbing my mails. If there is any delay in getting the list working again don't panic please, it will be back ASAP. Please don't mail me personally about this, I am unlikely to have time to reply. And yes thanks, I am well aware of free hosting provided by the likes of Topica, Yahoo! and Smartgroups. Apart from the disadvantage of the list address having to change from the rather well-known present one, there are a number of other issues, but mainly none of those will work with what I intend doing with my site and the list itself.
