[PLUG] Greetings and Update

[Russell Senior]

(sent via lists.pdxlinux.org)

An update on the mailing list situation:

Things are a *bit* better since we got some degree of control over the
mailing lists again, late on Monday. However, the mailing list software on
TidalHost is ... different. Not mailman, it is SmarterMail (from
smartertools.com, as in OUCH, some weird windows based commercial exchange
substitute, ick).

We (Wes, Michael and I) are working on getting hosted at OSUOSL. It seems
that is going to happen, but we don't have the keys to the car yet, so
we'll be limping along on this version until we can get the new hosting
spun up and software installed and configured.

Continued patience is appreciated.

For everyone who seems to have been bombarded with bounces from
ptp at klickitat.com, that was because *my* self-hosted mail server was down
for three days. Sorry. Weirdly, I didn't see most of the bounces.  Any sane
mailing list shouldn't have stupidly spammed you all with the bounces,
regardless, so I'm not completely to blame. Probably because of the bounces
I was unsubscribed at some point, which I only realized last night.
Previous attempts to update you disappeared silently as a result.
