>Dear LUG.ORG.UK List Member,
>
>This is an important announcement.
>
>My name is Mark Lewis and I, alongside a small team of Admins run the
>lug.org.uk server.
>
>I am taking the opportunity to send this email to every list member to
>advise of a change that happened last night.
>
>As a little background, the present server was donated by a company called
>Transtec, though we have a new and higher specification machine donated by
>a company called Xinit Systems. What we are trying to do is migrate the
>services from the Transtec machine to the new Xinit machine. The reason for
>this has it's obvious benefits including performance and newer services.
>
>One of the service benefits is the introduction of Mailman
>(http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html) as the Mailing List
>Manager on Xinit to replace Majordomo on Transtec, which has been a request
>by many List Managers for many moons now. Alas and to this end, we took the
>bulls by the horns and migrated things last night.
>
>As part of this process you should have received an email from Mailman
>giving posting instructions for your subscribed list(s), a password and a
>URL for the web interface. This password is personal to you and allows you
>as a list member to configure your preferences via the web interface and
>unless your List Manager has switched it off, you will get confirmation of
>this password from Mailman at the end of each month.
>
>You may find a full listing of Mailman lists on the LUG server at
>http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/
>
>The other important fact to note is based upon posting. Under Majordomo you
>were posting to $listsname at lists.lug.org.uk while from now and under
>Mailman, you will need to use the syntax $listname at mailman.lug.org.uk (note
>'lists' is now 'mailman'). We have updated Domain Name Services and the MTA
>to reflect this, but you may experience problems in the interim if the
>mailman.lug.org.uk hostname is not used.
>
>Thank you for reading this mail and I hope you as a list member find the
>features of Mailman a benefit.
>
>One last thing before I go, other services will be changed shortly as well.
>So, if you find anything spurious happening, please inform your List
>Manager or LUG Master who can escalate to the Admin team.
>
>Kind regards,
>Mark
