This message is to notify you that the RAPID-GENERAL mailing list has been moved to a new server run by JISCMail. The originating address will therefore be different from that used previously, and is now [log in to unmask] . 

The archive of previous messages sent to the mailing list has also been moved to the new server.

Please save this message for future  reference.

You can tell LISTSERV how you want  it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list:. Options are as follows:

send the command:

SET RAPID-GENERAL REPRO

and LISTSERV will send  you a copy of your own messages,  so that you can see that the message was distributed successfully.

Alternatively, if you send the command:

SET RAPID-GENERAL ACK NOREPRO

LISTSERV will mail you a  short acknowledgement instead. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely by sending:

SET RAPID-GENERAL NOACK NOREPRO

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options have been set  to "NOACK REPRO" rather than the  usual LISTSERV defaults.

For  more   information  about   subscription  options,  send   an email containing the command  "QUERY
