Hi all, The lists hosted by U2UG have been moved to a new server, and upgraded from majordomo to mailman. There will be a few changes in the administrative side of things (subscription management, etc), but the email address for the lists will remain the same.
One not insignificant (but not really major) change is that mailman handles digests differently from majordomo. With majordomo there were 2 separate lists for each list -- a regular list and a digest list. Some folks were subscribed to BOTH the regular and digest lists. With mailman, this is no longer possible, since mailman only keeps a single list, and manages the digest based on user-selectable options. So anyone who was subscribed to a digest list and the corresponding regular list is now only subscribed to a single list, with the digest option turned on. Any user can now login and change their options from regular to digest for any of the lists to which they're subscribed. One other change is that administrative requests (subscribe, unsubscribe, etc) that are sent via email will no longer be sent to "majord...@listserver.u2ug.org", but to "listname-...@listserver.u2ug.org" where "listname" is one of the lists (i.e. u2-users, u2-community, etc), and "xxx" is one of several commands, such as join, leave, subscribe, unsubscribe, request, etc. For example, to subscribe to u2-users, send an email to "u2-users-j...@listserver.u2ug.org" (or "u2-users-subscr...@listserver.u2ug.org"). There will still be a web-based interface to the lists as well, but the url for that will change slightly as well. The new location will be http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo for general information, and a list of all of the mailing lists, or http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/listname for list specific information and subscription management. http://listserver.u2ug.org redirects to the general listinfo page. The IP address was just changed to point to the new server last night, so it may be a day or so before the DNS servers around the globe are all fully updated. Please be patient as we work through these changes. We will work to correct any issues that arise as quickly as possible.
