Helsinki, June 12, 1995.
Dear colleagues,
the address to the forest-mailing list at "forest@nic.funet.fi"
will be officially changed on Wednesday June 14, 1995.
The new address of the list is
********************************
* *
* forest@listserv.funet.fi *
* *
********************************
By that day, the listowner will move all old subscribers to the new list.
No action is needed on your part. If any address should be accidentally
lost in the updating process, I request you to resubscribe from
"listserv@listserv.funet.fi". If you have already subscribed to the new
list directly, no action is needed on your part.
If you should need to unsubscribe from the list, from now on, you should
send these messages to the new address at "listserv@listserv.funet.fi".
Please, wait for the announcement "List move accomplished".
If you have already unsubscribed from the old list and are now receiving mail
from the new list, you probably unsubscribed during the experimental period
and would need to unsubscribe again from "listserv@listserv.funet.fi".
This is my fault and I apologize for it. Unfortunately, I did not know of
the first experimental transfer of address list to the new server, and
did not save the subscriber list from April. It is now impossible to
identify the new subscribers at the new server from those which were
moved from the old list in April.
The old address will be functional for a long grace period, during which all
messages to the old address are automatically forwarded to the new list.
The change will be done partially at the request of FUNET maintenance.
This list has been the largest on the mailserv-server and they wanted to
move it to a more efficient computer. The new list will be served by the
"revised listserv system" of FUNET, located at the Centre for Scientific
Comupting in Espoo, Finland.
The new server allows us to divide the list into a maximum of eleven (11)
topic-groups by using preset keywords on the subject-line. You are then
able to select the subgroups of messages which you wish (not) to receive.
I am setting the list up initially with the following nine topics.
* Topics = MEETING,JOB,PUBLICATION,POLICY,EDUCATION,
ANALYSIS,PRODUCTS,TECHNOLOGY,MANAGEMENT
(POLICY= forest-policy, PRODUCTS=forest-products, etc.)
If you disagree or would like to suggest new topics for the remaining two
topics, please, send your comments to "forest-request@listserv.funet.fi":
Instructions concerning the new server will be sent in a separate file.
Yours sincerly,
Jarmo Saarikko
the listowner of "forest@listserv.funet.fi"
