CCD-world upgrade

Dear CCD-world,

	The CCD-world emailing list is now running through the
mailing-list manager software "Post.Office" from Software.Com [tm].
This is a new software package at CFHT and so there may be some
problems, although we have tested the system as thoroughly as we can.
If there are problems, Post.Office will be turned off immediately and
we shall return to the manual methods until the problems are fixed.

	There is a web interface through which you can manage
your own subscription.  This is not yet available at CFHT, but I shall
add it to the CCD-world web pages as soon as I can.  In the meantime,
you can now treat CCD-world as if it were a major-domo style mailing
list via the address ccd-world-request at cfht.hawaii.edu.  Send the
one-line message "help" to this address for information.  The mailing
list is currently configured as follows:

* Posting by subscribers is unmoderated and immediate
* Posting by non-subscribers is moderated (this means I get *all* the
    junk mail and you get none...)
* the following header line is added to CCD-world mailings:
    Reply-To: CCD-world at cfht.hawaii.edu
  Hopefully this will eliminate the bounced messages contributors have been
  receiving from some machines.
* CCD-world subscriber emails are not expanded in sent mail.
* Maximum message size: 500K
* Subscription requests are verified and moderated.
* Unsubscribing is verified and moderated (so no-one can unsubscribe you
    except yourself).
* Subscribers can obtain a full list of CCD-world subscribers. (Be good!)
* You can select digest delivery if you like.

Kudos to Bob Link at CFHT for getting this up and running so quickly.

Enjoy,

	Tim Abbott
	Moderator, CCD-world.
