Re: *** ADMIN: Migrating this mailing list to new server

We probably don't express it often enough, David - but we really do appreciate all your efforts. Keeping Midrange.Com going must be a labour of love, (I can't imagine where you find the time - or the money!)

A Big Thank You for all the (free!) support you give to the community.

Brian.

Folks:

The effort to migrate the mailing list server to a new host has been a bit fraught with troubles ... but I think I've got most of the major issues resolved.

The biggest remaining issue is that Yahoo doesn't like a major influx of email from a new IP address all at once.

They want me to 'warm up' the new IP by sending some mail from the new server IP to get Yahoo used to the traffic & type of mail.

Guess what!  This list won that lottery ... so I'm going to be migrating this list over to the new server over the weekend.

This will mean that mail sent from & to the list will use the address wdsci-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Mail sent to wdsci-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx will continue to work for quite a while, but eventually that forward will be shut down (no eta on that).

I will post a message when the migration is complete (along with a few test messages).

The only ramification is that yahoo subscribers may experience a delay in mail delivery.
