Hi,

We announced a few weeks ago that ibiblio was moving to a new
location and in the process making a number of changes. At first we
thought everything was working without problems after the move. We
haven't noted anything not working on the wiki, but there seem to be
a number of problems with the mail list. David is working with them
now on trying to sort out the archives which were renumbered which
means that google searches are coming up empty and posts we have
linked to on the wiki are usually broken.

Another problem has surfaced. Many of you have multiple email
addresses. In the past we have added second addresses as approved so
if you posted to the group with one of those addresses the messages
would get through. At least two people have reported that when
posting from a second address the message has not appeared in email
or the archives. These messages aren't appearing as bounces or as
held messages either so list administrators are unaware of them. They
are just disappearing. So if you post to the list and your message
does not arrive, please check to see if the address you used was the
same one that you used when you subscribed to the list. If not, you
may wish to resend it under the other email address or change the
email address on the list if the second address is an address you
will mostly be using. Another option is to subscribe to the list
under a second address and set the address where you don't want to
get messages to nomail. I'm sorry about this. We opened a help
ticket with ibiblio about this and this is the suggestion they gave us.
