Mike

You did a good job of adding my new address

 xxxxxx@valdosta.edu

Unfortunately - apparently you did not REMOVE my old address

 xxxxxx@grits.valdosta.peachnet.edu

so I am now getting two of each message.  It is really filling up my in-box.
Can you correct this?  Thanks in advance.

At 03:17 PM 10/14/97 -0400, Mike Varney sent a message saying:
*It has been brought to my attention that there are several subscribers out
*there asking similar questions to the list, so I'd like to address as many
*as possible in this note.
*
*First of all, my name is Mike Varney and I am the administrator of the list
*as far as the technical side is concerned.  My email address is
*"xxxxxx@health.state.ny.us".  I work in the Information Systems department
*of Health Research (HRI), which is the branch of the New York State
*Department of Health which handles research grants.  As I am on the
*computer staff, I don't really have anything (directly, at least) to do
*with Grant administration.  In fact, until this morning, I was not even a
*subscriber to the list... <grin>  So, I do all of the subscription problems
*and other related issues.
*
*The second issue is where our listserv is located.  When most of you
*subscribed to the list, the listserv's email address was
*"xxxxxx@ALBNYDH2.BITNET".  Well, after much shifting, we are finally on
*the Internet, and to the best of my knowledge the BITNET address does not
*work anymore.  The official address of our listserv is
*"xxxxxx@HEALTH.STATE.NY.US".  Please send all subscription and other
*commands to that address.  To get a list of commands, send a note to that
*address with a body just containing the word HELP.
*
*That would make the submission address "xxxxxx@HEALTH.STATE.NY.US", and
*the email alias to get to the administrators
*"xxxxxx@HEALTH.STATE.NY.US".  Capitalization optional of
*course...
*
*Finally, there has been an increasing number of people saying they receive
*the list, but their submissions are denied, saying they are not subscribed.
*This happens when your local administrators change machines (or just the
*name of the machines) that are handling your email, and forward your mail
*from one name to the other.  Thus, you can receive the list from your old
*address, but when you submit your mail is sent listing you under your new
*address.  Hence the errors.  To solve this problem, send me an email note
*(xxxxxx@health.state.ny.us) telling me you have this problem, and listing
*your old email address along with your new one.  I can take care of the
*problem from this side.
*
*Please contact me if you have any other questions...
*
