Subject: [Icc-430] Transition to Yahoo Groups...
Message-ID: <200908182318.n7INIA05060330@mail.imagecraft.com>
I know this subject came up before and the responses weren't 100%
positive. However, due to various problems, we will probably be
transitioning @imagecraft.com to Google Apps Premium. The IT cost of
running our own mail/smtp servers are just getting too high.
However, Google App is not particularly suited for mailing lists.
Yahoo groups, while has its flaws, is ideal for that.
NOTE:
- new users are moderated and manually accepted so spam levels should be low.
- you do not need a yahoo login, you can subscribe/unsub using email messages
- you may either use the web or email interface. My own preference is
to use the email interface.
- archive and posts are only viewable by members, to lessen
possibility of address harvesting by spammers.
I know this will cause some of you to grief. Sorry about that.

Subject: [Icc-430] Hold the execution :-) mailing lists to remain for now.

OK, thanks to a pointer from one of the users, we can probably solve
the most immediate crisis while continuing to run our server, so the
mailing lists will stay for the time being.
Hopefully by tomorrow night everything will be working better.
