Attention everyone: Over the last couple of years that TWIAR.org has hosted the medianews and wildfeeds mailing lists, I have had a great amount of news and information sent my way.
With "This Week in Amateur Radio" being a not-for-profit group, we've taken whatever we can get. So, when Digihost out of Australia offered us space and bandwidth, it was an offer we couldn't refuse. We had a great relationship with out prior host, but could not support the increased bandwidth costs with the booming popularity of "podcasting" that put TWIAR on the map. The folks at Digihost have been more than accommodating to TWIAR.org and to the mailing lists whenever problems arose. When we moved to Digihost it was a better-than-expected transition, with little disruption. Over the last month, TWIAR became the recipient of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, and the quick-acting admins resolved the issue with little to no disruption. One issue that has crept up over the past several weeks has been a constant where users are not getting their emails or getting bounced messages when attempting to send to the lists, or not seeing their posts sent back even though it appears in the archives. I have my suspicions as to the cause, but unfortunately the admins with Digihost have been unable to isolate the root of the problem. This is not a knock on Digihost, as I have had nothing but positive things to say about them. However, this issue is out of their hands and posting to a domain hosted in North America may be the only real solution. ROB SAYS he has some space on his domain (CBAND.INFO) and will offer to take the mailing lists over to his site to hopefully alleviate any problems from the mailing lists currently housed overseas in the land down under. Therefore, this weekend I will migrate the subscriber lists over from twiar.org to cband.info. Hopefully the CBAND.INFO domain will be an easier domain to remember for sending posts. Other than the new email address users will have to post to, there should be no changes necessary on the subscribers' end in order to continue receiving email. Until the move is complete, you should continue to post to twiar.org. Once complete, I will shut down twiar.org's lists and post a message with the new email addresses. Once I have ensured the transition is complete, I will pass on duties over to Rob for admin issues, and will continue to remain as a contributor to Medianews. I want to thank Mike Reynolds for the opportunity to host these mailing lists, and will have the door open to host them in the future should it be required. -- Greg Williams K4HSM [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twiar.org http://www.etskywarn.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
