Thanks for spotting that the list was down, and for fixing it so quickly. I
can't begin to imagine how hard it is to move datacenters.

So sorry for the temporary email outage on the list.
We're moving
datacenters and one of my folks moved several front end mail processors -
not realizing that the classiccmp server which stayed behind was still
using
them.
Through the magic of a vpn tunnel between front end mx hosts and the
backend
mailstores (classiccmp included), it seems to be back
up. I'll talk to the
guy tomorrow to discuss the actual movement of that vm. Yes, IP's will be
changing for the list and all websites hosted therein. But DNS is "a
thing",
so should be mostly transparent. Depending on timing,
I may go ahead and
do
some upgrades and recombine the lists - or may do that
after the move.
I'll try to do a better job of coordinating this..
Best,
J
