Informix Mailing List moving today
*** IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE INFORMIX MAILING LIST *** Today, January 27, at approximately 2:00 PM Eastern US Time (19:00 GMT), the Informix Mailing List will move from the system rmy.emory.edu to the home system for the International Informix Users Group, iiug.org. The IP number for iiug.org is 206.175.175.254. The new posting address for the list will be "informix-list@iiug.org". The list will be maintained on iiug.org by the automated mailing list management software package Majordomo. Included at the bottom of this announcement are instructions for using Majordomo. Of course, nothing is ever completely automatic. The list will still require some administration. Three frequent contributors to the informix-list/comp.databases.informix forum have volunteered to share administrator duties: Paul Watson, Billy Wheeler and David Williams. They will have help from Mike Reetz, the IIUG Postmaster. If you need to contact one of these folks regarding the list, the best address to use will be "informix-list-manager@iiug.org", since there may be a rotation of duties. The list will continue to be gatewayed with comp.databases.informix, and will be using news service graciously donated by Xmission.com. We have tested the new gateway to the extent that we can without going live, but if some glitch pops up when we first switch over, please bear with us. Guess that's about it. I'll post another message when it appears that the move has been made successfully. Thanks, Walt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using Majordomo All informix-list administrative requests will be handled on iiug.org by the list management software package Majordomo, whose address is "majordomo@iiug.org". To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to that address with the message line: subscribe informix-list If you want to subscribe an address different from the one from which you send your request, place the address to be added to the list as a third parameter on the "subscribe" line above. Do *not* include your real name after your address as you would with a LISTSERV list. To remove your address from the list, send the message: unsubscribe informix-list to "majordomo@iiug.org". If you want to remove an address different from the one from which you send your request, place the address to be removed from the list as a third parameter on the "unsubscribe" line. Placing your subscribe or unsubscribe request in the Subject line will not cause any action, since Majordomo ignores the Subject line on all messages. If your mailer automatically appends a signature block to your outgoing e-mail, add a second line consisting of the word "end" to your message. For more details, send a message consisting of the word "help" to the "majordomo@iiug.org". Note that all commands that list subscriber addresses have been disabled. To communicate with a person, send e-mail to "informix-list-manager@iiug.org". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Walt Hultgren Internet: walt@rmy.emory.edu (IP 170.140.97.4) Emory University UUCP: {...,gatech,rutgers,uunet}!emory!rmy!walt 954 Gatewood Road, NE BITNET: walt@EMORY Atlanta, GA 30329 USA Voice: +1 404 727 0648
