Adminstrivia -- Mailing lost move

I am planning on moving the FilePro list, to another server here, updating
Mailman to the current version in the process.  One of the nice features of
the current Mailman is that it permits one to change an e-mail address
instead of having to delete the old one and add a new address.

This may result in increased speed as it's moving from an 800MhZ Celeron on
SuSE 9.0 Professional to an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ on SuSE Linux
Enterprise 9 SP3 (I have SLES10 on another development machine, but this
one has been up an running for about 3 months now so I'm happy with its
reliability :-).

I'm going to try to do this to minimize downtime, and insure that all
archives are intact.

I will be changing the DNS for lists.celestial.com and lists.seaslug.org to
point to the new machine, barryg.celestial.com, when I'm sure this is ready
and all lists have been moved.  I'll also add aliases on the old machine to
forward traffic to the new machine as each list is moved.

The new machine is now addressable as lists.celestial.net while the old one
is still lists.celestial.com.

Don't applaud -- just send money :-).
