Members of Archives-nra should note that the service will shortly be
moving from Mailbase to JISCmail. This should not initially affect the
posting and receipt of messages, but you should be prepared to change
the address to [log in to unmask] I append the timetable of
the migration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plans for Migration
During the week beginning 20 November we at JISCmail will be starting
to build the lists and construct the archives from Mailbase prior to
the move on 27 November. During that period it would be most helpful if
owners could keep to a minimum the changes they make to files
associated with lists, changes to list owners and moderators and
modifications to the characteristics of lists.
We shall not be copying the information relating to members of lists at
this stage, so if you need to modify an individual's list membership or
add/remove members this is not a problem, just go ahead as usual.
At 03:30 am on Saturday 25 November the Mailbase service will close
temporarily and another snapshot of the list definition database and
the November archives will be copied to JISCmail. From this we will
construct the list membership for each list and apply it to the
relevant list.
We will check for any changes in the list characterisations detailed
above which have been applied between 20 November and 25 November
snapshots and apply those as soon as possible to the relevant lists.
At 08:30 am on Monday 27 November the JISCmail service will open.
Emails sent to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]
which relate to the lists which have moved to JISCmail will be
intercepted at Mailbase and re-routed to JISCmail. The sender of the
email will be notified of the change of service name and, where
possible, the email will be converted and processed appropriately by
JISCmail.
