Migration of Mailbase List to JISCmail: 27th November 2000 Dear Tardigraders, Members of the TARDIGRADA mailbase list may be aware that the mailbase service is being transferred to JISCmail from 27th November 2000. The name Mailbase will be retained by the University of Newcastle, the current Mailbase service provider, and the new service will be known as JISCmail. The following information is provided to help you understand how the change affects this list. You may wish to keep this message for future reference. 1. The new service will be based upon the well known LISTSERV software. This will result in some changes to the user interface. Details of the differences and the transition arrangements are available on the JISCmail web site at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/docs/transition-bulletins.htm 2. From 27th November 2000, email to our list should be sent to [log in to unmask] in place of [log in to unmask] 3. Similarly, user commands should be sent to [log in to unmask] in place of [log in to unmask] 4. The JISCmail helpline can the reached at [log in to unmask] 6. JISCmail uses passwords differently to mailbase. Passwords are linked to a users email address. List Members may very well never need a password. As a list member it will only become necessary for you to register a password if you wish to use the Web to post to any list or view the archives of a closed list or change your list membership options, such as mail or digest. In order to register a password go to the JISCmail Home Page www.jiscmail.ac.uk and follow the navigation provided. Don't worry if you forget your password, it is very easy to register a new one. 7. Our new website address will be: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/tardigrada.html If you experience any difficulties due to the change over, (I am not anticipating any), please contact on my address below and I will endeavour to provide assistance.
