Dear all
Now that the list has been running for a while on Jiscmail I'd appreciate
(off-list) note of any specific problems people have had (if any). Use
continues to grow and there are now 350 members. Remember that this list is
available to anyone with an interest in museum education in the UK. It is
not restricted to GEM members (although I hope anyone using the list who is
not a GEM member might be tempted to join...).
As far as I can see it's running quite smoothly, although I don't like the
web interface quite as much, and a real bonus for me is that the system
manages faulty e-mail servers better than Mailbase did (in other words I
get a daily summary of errors, not individual messages).
One thing to watch, though, is that the system is so well automated that it
will remove you if your server plays up with a certain frequency, and there
are certain servers (which will be nameless in public) that are flakier
than others. If you wonder why you are not getting messages this may have
happened to you and you'll need to rejoin. To find out which lists you
belong to, send the command Query * in the body of a message to
[log in to unmask] (remember, messages to everyone are sent to
[log in to unmask], while commands, e.g. to suspend mail while you're away,
are sent to [log in to unmask]). The complete user guide is at
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/docs/jiscmail-guides.htm.
