Have there been any posts on the old list recently? I have not seen any. From: Mark Newton Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2018 9:35 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: [Aus-soaring] Fwd: Reminder: Mailing list relocation
Last reminder. We’ll shut down the old list next week. - mark Begin forwarded message: From: Mark Newton <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Reminder: Mailing list relocation Date: 6 September 2018 at 3:40:54 AM GMT+10 To: "Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia." <[email protected]> Reply-To: "Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia." <[email protected]> Reposting again, and observing that the spam load has been particularly high for the last week for some reason. I think it’s the mailing list saying it’s had enough :) Let’s sunset this one: Middle of September makes it a month since i set up the new Google Group. That’s probably an adequate time to start turning this one off. I had one person who couldn’t find the new list on the link below, but could with this one: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/aus-soaring No idea why one worked and the other didn’t, but I’m including it here for completeness.

Well: It’s moving again. The software which has been running the group is called Mailman, and it’s showing its age. In particular, its ability to handle escalating volumes of spam is somewhat compromised. The mailboxes of Simon and I fill up with vast quantities of the stuff, and “backscatter attacks” cause Mailman to suspend your subscriptions, causing us to field queries about unexpected unsubscriptions. Simon and I had a quick chat about this last week, and decided to move it to a Google Group. The group is called aus-soaring (naturally). You should be able to subscribe to it by navigating to https://groups.google.com/d/forum/aus-soaring and using the drop-down menu button near the top right corner. Google Groups has far better spam protections, a good web interface, and you can still interact with it by email if you wish. Once you’re on board, you can mailto:[email protected] to make your voice heard. For privacy reasons, I’m not going to force-subscribe anyone to the new Group, you’ll need to do it yourself. We’re going to keep this list running on Base64’s mail server for another month or so, but will eventually abandon it. There’ll be some more reminders before that happens. Questions or comments? Fire away, happy to help.
