Administrivia: List changeover complete.

OK, you should be receiving this through the shiny new mailman list.

Theoretically, all the past mail should also be visible in the archive (see 
the List-archive: header), but mailman is playing silly buggers so only 
this month's is there. I know not why.

I've disabled the old list and made Exim rewrite mail sent to it and send 
it on to the new list. I've also transferred all the subscriptions - you 
should each have received a confirmation mail. Ignore what it said about 
resending your password once a month - that gets on my tits so I turned it 
off. I suppose you can have it back if people really want it, though.

Watching it send all those welcome mails and stumble over broken mail 
setups has severely tempted me to be far more pedantic about the domains I 
allow subscriptions from.

Please take a moment to enter your email address into the form at 
	http://lists.infradead.org/mxverify-cgi.html

If there is a server which is _not_ listed as 'Apparently OK', or if there
is only one server listed, then please report the fault to whoever's in
charge of your mail system, and if they can't fix it quickly, please
unsubscribe the offending address and resubscribe with an alternative
address which is more professionally administered.

Bonus points for incompetence above and beyond the call of duty are awarded 
to those with MX records pointing to hosts with 10.x.x.x IP addresses, or 
to hosts with names like 'ms-exchange.' You know who you are.

(No, I didn't omit the domain from that, there really is an MX record 
pointing at the top-level 'ms-exchange.')
