When I said seamless, I was referring to at the server end of things, and yes I would, like you and a lot of others, have to make filtering adjustments > Of course, that is a separate issue from the question of whether > people should individually resubscribe to the list under its new name. ISP, servers and MLM software, and I didn't think about changing the domain name, I'm slipping. With a change of domain name it actually becomes a new list, and as such it would be unethical to just move people accross to the new list. The archives need to be retained and made available as the "old archives". -- Regards, | Lions District 201 Q3 Rob Unsworth | IT & Internet Chairman Ipswich, Australia | http://www.lionsq3.asn.au -------------------------------------------------
