Hi all, First, please allow me to apologize for the list's down time. A while back Bezeq Intl. finally did what they said they will do all along, and pulled the plug on the old Actcom server farm, along with beak and eskimo, the two old servers run by Hamakor. The new server was up and running, and contained backups of all the material from the old servers, but was not, unfortunately, fully configured to take all of the old servers' tasks. Haifux was one of the tasks that fell through the cracks.
Please do not blame Bezeq intl. They gave adequate warning about this move, and it was a combination of work load and other stuff (aka "life") that prevented faster handling of the situation. I accept full responsibility, and ask for your forgiveness. As of now, the DNSes were notified of the new list location, and the change can now be expected to slowly propagate. In about 24 hours, the list should be back to full operational status. Email sent now will probably arrive, eventually (may take a couple of days). Emails sent before this change should eventually arrive, unless you already received, or will receive in the next 24 hours, a bounce notification. A few things did change. List subscribe/unsubscribe is now handled through http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux, as the automatic signature at the bottom of this (and every other) email should attest. I have no control over Haifux's web site, so I'll leave it up to "someone" to update the info there. Mailman also keep list archives around, and they are available at http://hamakor.org.il/pipermail/haifux/ A few technical differences. The new list management software has a "no dups" settings that can be set per-subscriber. Simply access the web interface, put your email in, and ask to recover password. Your personal list password will be mailed to you. Using that password you can log into the web site, and change it. The meaning of the option is that if the mailing list sees that the email was already sent to you personally, it will not send you another copy. This should put all "reply-to" wars to an end. Simply reply to all list email by hitting "reply to all". Those subscribers that wish to only get one copy will, those that wish to get two copies will also. Last, but far from least - I'm looking for someone to take ownership over the list. This means mostly tweaking the list settings where appropriate, and approving/discarding the mail from unsubscribed posters. I'll try to let the list decide on who the owner should be based on concensus. Thanks, Shachar _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list [email protected] http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
