Hah :) For me it's all about having a single repository.
Search email? Search Skype? Search Teams? Search WhatsApp? Search Telegram? Search g+? Search Slack? ...and the list goes on.

You prefer email? Not shocking at all. :) From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B.

Thanks Rod. So, the quietness is due to a relatively small number of subscribers. No one "pushes" the lists (nor am I suggesting that Rod or his company should) the way that Sunbelt used to. There was a HUGE fall off when the lists moved to myITforum (again no fault of Rod's), and the rest is just folks moving to using other means of support (and moving to other jobs). I personally still prefer email. A lot of people don't. From: Trent, Rod [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2018 11:42 AM To: Michael B. Smith; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Exchange] Has this list died? The lists are setup to alert the administrators when there have been too many bounces. They check the logs to see what the issues are and remove those where the accounts no longer exist. However, if the bounces are due to domain misconfigurations or email accounts that are unavailable for a long time, they'll remove those, too. The email lists have a limit as to how many messages it can retain without choking the server. If a domain becomes misconfigured or a server goes offline, the bounces can effectively take down the entire email list service. So, there's a lot of monitoring and administration that has to go on to ensure they keep humming along. That said, here's the current subscriber counts for both lists... Exchange: 344 NTSysAdm: 539 From: Michael B.

No, it's moderately active. However, if it gets two bounces in a row, for whatever reason, it bumps you off. (I think it's two, Rod would have to verify.) You can resubscribe here: http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/newsletter/email-lists-2/ Also, Rod would you tell us the membership for the Exchange and NTSysadm lists? Thanks. Regards, Michael B.

What I haven't been seeing lately is anything on the Windows NT list, or whatever it's called now. Does it bump you off if you haven't posted in a awhile?
