** New host machine for AUDITORY list **



Dear List -

The McGill University network staff who host the AUDITORY listserv
(and to whom we are all indebted!) are migrating their older VM1
system to NT-based machines, and as a result the 'real' address of the
list has recently changed to:

        AUDITORY@LISTS.MCGILL.CA

instead of the old VM1 host.

Although mail to the old address will be forwarded, it turns out that
the extra steps involved result in messages being rejected for about
20 list members because the number of mail hops can exceed the limits
(around 15) established at those sites.  So please use the new address
above for future postings.  The old address will probably be
disconnected in a couple of months.

I've appended the standard admin reminder message for anyone who's
interested (edited to reflect the new hostname).

  DAn.

Here's a reminder of some administration details for the email list
AUDITORY@LISTS.MCGILL.CA:

Messages for the entire list should be sent to AUDITORY@LISTS.MCGILL.CA
(case doesn't matter).  As an "anti-spam" measure, the Listserver will
reject messages if it doesn't recognize the "From:" address in your
message as exactly matching one of the list recipients.  Regrettably,
this results in a lot of false alarms; if you have trouble posting,
please just let me know so I can fix your address.

Requests to be removed from the list, notifications of changed
details, or inquiries from people wishing to join the list should
be sent to me at:

        auditory-request@lists.mcgill.ca

which is simply forwarded to dpwe@icsi.berkeley.edu .

The biographical database as well as an archive of postings are
available on the web and via ftp.  The entire member database
(over 900k, plain ascii text) is at:

        ftp://sound.media.mit.edu/pub/AUDITORY/member-list

This page should probably be treated as privacy-sensitive, so please
don't make web links to it.  It is 'hidden' from casual browsing.

The home page for the list is:

        http://sound.media.mit.edu/AUDITORY/

which includes links to the postings archives, as well a few other
resources.  (The postings archives are also available
in the same FTP directory as the member-list, in files named
postings-1993, postings-1994 etc.)
