Special announcement: new mailing list

[James Carlson]

I'm migrating the Nashua IMC Club mailing list from Mailman to Beehiiv. 
If you have gotten this announcement message directly from me (and not 
forwarded from someone else), then this transition should require no 
effort on your part because I'm importing the existing list directly. 
I'm sending this message just in case there are problems or if you need 
more information.

If you filter your email for spam or separate mailboxes or the like, 
here are some key details. The new mail will come from:

   From: James Carlson <nashua-imc at mail.beehiiv.com>

and will have this in the RFC822 headers:

   x-list-id: 159383ee-1b4f-49be-949f-213f6de21d4f

You may wish to add that "From" address to your allowed senders or 
contacts list, or whatever is needed to avoid having mail accidentally 
tagged as spam.

You should expect to see a message on March 1st from the new list 
announcing the meeting on the 11th. I'll send out one final message from 
this old list afterwards, so if you see that second message without 
seeing the first (new) one, then there's an issue.

I've finished doing the mailing list import on Beehiiv, so if you're 
seeing this message and you DO NOT WANT to be on the list, you can 
either wait for the new message and click on the unsubscribe link, or 
contact me now and I'll remove you from the list. There are a handful of 
folks on the old list with address issues that I'll be following up shortly.

Some background: Steve Cunningham originally sent the messages through 
Wild Apricot. When I took over in 2014, I eventually moved the list over 
to my own server running GNU Mailman 2 running on Python-2.7. The newest 
version of OpenSUSE Leap (16.0) doesn't support Python-2.7 and I can 
either upgrade to a new version of Mailman or port the list over to an 
external site. I'm doing the latter because it should deal better with 
the complicated delivery issues with the big providers (I've had to keep 
up with DKIM/DMARC and other bits on my system), and because it should 
eventually allow me to transfer the list to someone else when the time 
comes.
