All,
Unfortunately, my plan to route Mifnet posts from the old server to the new isn’t working as expected. The system is sensitive to re-routed traffic. Accordingly, please send all Mifnet posts going forward to the new address: <mailto:mifnet@lists.mifnet.com> mifnet@lists.mifnet.com All should be well with this change. Thanks again for your patience, David Wardell (757) 561-0582 <mailto:da...@wardell.org> da...@wardell.org <https://wardell.us/url/b5s86> <https://wardell.us/url/s9qvz> From: Mifnet <mif...@list.mifnet.com> Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2025 11:03 PM To: Mifnet - Postings <mif...@list.mifnet.com> Subject: [Mifnet 🚀 72461] Housekeeping - Mifnet System Changes (Please Read) All, I sincerely appreciate those who assisted with testing the most recent Mifnet system changes. It would seem that all the issues I have attempted to correct are now resolved—with a single exception. I’ll continue to address the remaining problem (relates to the known “not seeing own posts” issue). There isn’t any reason to delay the transition to the new system, hence with immediate effect (after this last message on the old system), we’ll switch to the new system. With very few exceptions, everyone should notice no changes in behavior. There are certainly remaining issues that I’ve overlooked, but I’ve tried very hard not to. If you stop seeing Mifnet immediately after this message (I’m holding a post that will be sent immediately), please do the following: * Check spam. I’m not expecting new issues here, but it’s possible. If so, you will need to whitelist the new Mifnet server. * Contact me off list if this does not correct the problem. Here are the known (intentional) changes that you will see in the new system: 1. The list posting address has changed. The new address to use is: <mailto:mifnet@lists.mifnet.com> mifnet@lists.mifnet.com Please update your email client. I’ve configured the old posting address to route to the new. While I’m not 100% certain this will perform without issues (we can’t tell until we try it), I’m not expecting problems. Please start using the new posting address in any event. 2. While the “core” of the system remains the same, you will see changes in the member configuration pages and the archive. Most do not use these, so the overall effect is minimal. The changes will result in some added functionality and better performance. 3. The anonymous posting feature that has long been part of Mifnet has been removed. The system will now display the name of the sender, if it can discern it, or if not, it will post what information it has. Many thanks for your patience and support as we work through these unavoidable updates.
