Hi Folks! I'm now an official member of this mailing list. I've got some mails in the past, but those are from the times when nextra.ch domain (and company) was operating a different way than it does today. Thanks to Christof Roduner and Christian Robyr (Ex Nextra) for forwarding messages from SWINOG to me.
But first things first... - T-Systems purchased Nextra about 2 years ago. They've migrated the network and took over some leased line customers to their network. - T-Systems informed all ex-nextra customers by letter about the discontinuation of the hosting an messaging services in summer 2002. - mhs took over the "hosting and messaging" customers by end of 2002 from T-Systems. In fact, we've got some infrastructure and a list of customer addresses. - mhs sent letters (paperwork) to all the customers and informed them about the changes in december 2002. - mhs contacted all hosting customers either by mail and/or phone about the planned migration. - mhs sent mails to all customers still having delegated some domains to ns1.nextra.ch and/or ns2.nextra.ch during january 2003 - may 2003. - mhs requested several "technical contacts" at www.nic.ch to force a reaction from customers who still have not changed their nameservers to get in position to change nameservers from nsX..nextra.ch to dnsX.mhs.ch. This succeeded in most of tha cases. (100% success on domains delegated "primary" to those nameservers, 90% for "secondary" domains. The current situation is: - mhs is still running ns1.nextra.ch and ns2.nextra.ch since about 50 customers still have delegated domains to those servers. This service will be stopped by end of 2003. - mhs is currently (legally and officialy) holder of the domain nextra.ch. We are under contract with T-Systems to continue running the nameservers until end of 2003. - by 1.1.2004, mhs will pass back the domain nextra.ch to the current holder of the "Markenrechte" of Nextra - Nextra (Schweiz) AG is currently under "Liquidation" by a bern based trust company. - All ex-nextra customers either have found a new solution for hosting and messaging or hve migrated the installation to our services. (www.mhs.ch). - Mails to @nextra.ch will be bounced with one exception: [EMAIL PROTECTED] will reach me. This account is currently used for testing. - mhs did NOT illegally grabbed the domain name nextra.ch. We did not in the past and will not in the future. I hope to have pointed everything out. For additional questions, please contact me. Best wishes, Matthias Hertzog, [EMAIL PROTECTED] AG http://www.mhs.ch BTW: Christian Robyr, please correct me if i've forgotten anything in my mail.
