All,

if you are reading this, you will have made it to the new Lugnet server.

We are not quite there yet, but things are working reasonably well, therefore I
am keeping this machine online and will be fixing stuff as we move along.

Posting via the web interface seems to be working - the small disappointment
(for me) is that despite the new hardware and most binaries recompiled, there is
still some noticeable delay in posting new messages from the web. I hope I can
figure that out eventually.

Posting via NNTP may be possible but I have not tried yet - I can read
subscribed groups via NNTP all right, though.

Posting via Email remains turned off for a while as I need to re-establish the
couple hundred addresses needed for this service - please bear with me.

Pretty successful day 1 of the migration I should say, hope it stays that way as
I need to turn off the insecure old box soon.

Thanks for your patience,
Jerry

Thank you, Suz

I realize this move will be interesting again to say the least. I finally got
that Perl issue worked around that made us cancel the previous move, but the
mail2news mechanics are sort of broken at the moment (not that it matters too
much as the old machine had them somewhere between clogged and broken for months
now).

I'm reverse-engineering that bit to figure out what breaks. Technically,
news2mail does work, but the authentication does not trigger and we certainly
don't want Spam here.

Some ricochet emails already ended up as Forum spam, so I figure I'll keep email
turned off for a bit. People don't seem to be posting too much via NNTP at this
time.

It's quite probably just tiny bit I'm missing - needle in a haystack thing...
any volunteers who still remember how that thing was set up back in '99?

Thanks,
Jerry

All,

please be advised that posting to LUGNET via Email is currently DISABLED due to
an issue with the mail-authentication mechanism.

Please use the web frontend to post messages.

Thank you.

Thanks,
Jerry
