253112 Christopher Swingley <cswingle@s...> 2015‑01‑23 Here we go.....
GGs,

Here's my test message to confirm that the List migration to the new
server has been successful.  If all goes well and I can see that this
message has gone out to the galooterati, my next message will be
instructions on how to change over to the new List (basically change
your oldtools email alias to the new email address, change any filters
or email rules to recognize the new server).

Fingers crossed...

Chris

Chris,

All messages seem to be coming in correctly so far.  Pardon my
ignorance, but do we now resubscribe to the list, or just leave things
the way they are if operating OK?

Thanks from me as well for all your efforts.  Who knew you would get
into this when you agreed to be a List Mom, Eh?

There's no need to do anything.  I migrated all the subscription
information from Cornell's server over to the new server, so everyone
subscribed is already subscribed with the same password and options as
before.  All you need to do is change the address you use to post to
the List.  With many email clients / providers, if you include this
address in your contacts, messages from the List won't wind up in
spam.

Cheers,

Chris

Has any thought been put to helping folks who may only have the old 
address but have not taken the time to subscribe yet.

I have a number of such lists on the back burner waiting for the free 
time to do more with them than delete.

Keeping the oldtools moniker will help a lot for a Google search.

Any other ideas?

Everyone who was subscribed at the old address was transferred to the
new one so no one will be left behind.  The only thing anyone needs to
do is send messages to the new address.  Messages to the old one will
bounce back because ruckus is no longer running a mail server and will
be actually turned off tomorrow morning.

Cheers,

Chris
