Dear list members,
I am writing to let you know that mailbase is moving location later this
month. his will all happen over the weekend of the
25/26th November.
* AS A LIST MEMBER YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, YOUR DETAILS WILL
BE TRANSFERRED AUTOMATICALLY.*
The main change you will notice is to the address,
lists will be @jiscmail.ac.uk rather than @mailbase.ac.uk
So, for example, health-equity-network will be:
[log in to unmask]
The address of the www sites for lists will also change.
Each publicly available JISCmail list will have a web page at:
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/LISTNAME.html
where LISTNAME is the name of the list.
So, for example, healthecon-discuss will be:
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/heath-equity-network
The current mailbase software will continue to operate for a few months to
forward messages/commands on
to jiscmail automatically, but the current www pages at mailbase will not be
updated, the new jiscmail pages will be.
Therefore it is advisable to use the new address after the changes have been
made. Also it is probably advisable that any important posting be made by
the start of next week, just in case there are any problems during the
transition.
More details on all of this can be found in the new jiscmail user
guide at:
http://www.mailtest.jiscmail.ac.uk/user-manual/user-manual.htm
A summary of the most commonly used commands is at the end of this
message. If you have any queries about the jiscmail changeover please
refer to their user guide.
