Have there been any posts on the old list recently? I have not seen any.

Last reminder. We’ll shut down the old list next week.

  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.


  Regards,

    Reposting from last week:

    Some of you might recall that this list was moved from Internode to Base64 
some time ago.

    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.

    Regards,
