New ways to subscribe to and unsubscribe from the MAGNet list

   At the beginning of this week, the CalMail service team migrated
many campus mailing lists - including the MAGNet mailing list - to
Mailman, a more capable mailing list management package.

   Mailman replaces the venerable Majordomo software that had been
used for this purpose for many years. As a result of this
transition, the way that you subscribe to, unsubscribe from, and
manage your subscription to the MAGNet mailing list has changed,
hopefully for the better! Notably, you can now manage your
subscription via the web, as well as via email.

   You can find updated instructions on the MAGNet website at:

   http://magnet.berkeley.edu/maillist.html

   If you should come to find anything that is inaccurate or unclear
in these instructions, or encounter any issues when using the list in
the days ahead, please drop me a note, either personally or -
preferably - to the list admin role account,
magnet-list-owner_at_lists.berkeley.edu - thanks!

P.S. As one result of this transition, the 'magnet-posters-only' list
has been discontinued. Mailman uses a different mechanism - "sender
filters" - to allow you to post (only) to the MAGNet list from
multiple addresses you may sometimes happen to use, while continuing
to receive mail at just one address. If you were formerly able to
send email to the MAGNet list from addresses other than your
subscribed address, this should still be the case following the
transition to Mailman.
