Mailing List Software Migration
The NZNOG mailing list has run since the mid-90's (yes, it has been that long) using Majordomo list management software. The list will shortly be migrating to using the rather more current mailman v2.1 instead. The address to which mail for the list is to be sent will not change. Archive collection will continue as before, though with minor changes to the layout of the web pages generated. The process for subscribing or unsubscribing will change, and will in future use a password. These are to be generated automatically in the first case, and sent out to subscribers as the migration proceeds later today. One significant change affecting a few people is that the nznog-postonly list will cease to exist. Instead, it will be possible to subscribe an address to the main nznog list and specify that that address is not to receive mail. This is to be done automatically for the addresses now subscribed to nznog-postonly. An unfortunate result of the automatic process used is that each address will have a different initial password assigned. I suspect you'll cope.

Thanks Donald. It should be all done now. This was going to be an official test message, but it seems many others have already beaten me to that (and apologies for the archiver missing the first few, it was choking on an email virus that somehow found its way into the old archives :P) So, back to your regularly-scheduled discussions... -- ** Colin Palmer, Systems and Development Group, University of Waikato, NZ **
