[aclug-L] Re: change of email address

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it's a bit unfair to blame this on "ACLUG ineptness."  Most (if not
all) mailing list software requires a subscriber to unsubscribe from their
old address, then resubscribe with a new one.  I'm not aware of any software
that allows you to simply "change" an address.  And I can think of a number
of possible security concerns if you were allowed to simply change your
address without going through the unsubscribe/resubscribe process.

The Cox/RoadRunner thing has been a known issue for months--any of these
users _could_ have taken "immediate action" long ago--they didn't have to
wait until RR disappeared.

At this point, what David suggested is best:

1) Unsubscribe from your RR address, if possible.  If this is not possible
(due to the fact that you cannot respond to the unsubscribe confirmation
address from your RR address), then you may be stuck getting two copies of
your ACLUG mail until your RR addres goes away completely.
2) Subscribe with your Cox address.
