Hi
Just a reminder that the big change over from Mailbase to JISCmail
takes place this weekend, going into Monday 27 November.
With luck, everything should work smoothly. :-)
However, please note...
1. There will be a disruption to the service during this weekend while
technical work is carried out. Messages will be delayed but should
still be delivered. Please do NOT re-send messages if they have not
appeared on this list before Monday.
2. From late Monday (or early Tuesday depending on your timezone)
you will be able to send messages and commands to the new list
address. This is...

If you send mail to the old address it will still be delivered (for a
while), but you will receive an automated reply telling you to use the
new address in future.
3. The commands to join, leave, suspend mail etc. will remain very
similar (with the substitution of 'jiscmail' for 'mailbase'). However, it
might be a good idea to check the instructions now at...
www.jiscmail.ac.uk
4. We will need some help to change any web links that point to the
list or list archives. The list web pages will move to a corresponding
web location at...
www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research
Again, this is a simple substitution of 'jiscmail' for 'mailbase'.
The old pages will be 'frozen' today and will continue to be available
for some time. All archive material will be copied to the new location
where it will continue to grow.
Fingers crossed - everything should go according to plan. Here's
hoping for a seamless switch over :-)
PS. If anything goes wrong, please be patient. This is a huge
technical operation involving hundreds of lists and thousands of
subscribers - it may take longer than anticipated. If you have a
technical question about JISCmail then please mail...

Please do NOT mail me unless your query is specifically related to
the disability-research list!
Thanks.
