On behalf of the admin team: We've been discussing the possibilities of a mass switchover from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This is possible, using Mailman, the Free Software solution we're working on. One problem would be that those who have got their address changed irregularly, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] might get dropped inadvertently. Don't worry, though. (1) Mailman allows even non-members to post to its list (provided you don't violate the list rules, and yours is not a spam message or one of those many porn messages). So even if there's some confusion over your address, you will continue to be able to post to Goanet. (2) If any Goanetter suddenly stops receiving Goanet or Goanet-Digest, it probably means you have been inadvertently dropped from the list, or your address has been bouncing mail (in which case, it automatically gets switched to the no-mail option). In the latter case, please write in to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and request our good Sicilian-by-birth, Goan-by-marriage friend to do the needful. Also, those who's addresses have changed regularly, need not inform us. We will be shortly doing a mass change-over by replacing 'goatelecom.com' with 'sancharnet.in' in our addresses. If your address has changed irregularly, e.g. from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then please contact Viviana. Hope this helps and thanks!
