Dear colleagues,
our computer center made some changes for usage of mailing lists such as our list ifip-tc6@informatik.rwth-aachen.de. Unfortunately, they didn't inform me about that in due time; thus I didn't know the password which will allow me to deal with special cases and that is why a few messages were not sent out (which led to some irritation by the corresponding senders). I have been informed that meanwhile all pending messages have been distributed as usual.
The new rules are as follows: a. Message size is in principle limited to 50k (larger messages are possible but then I will have to check on a case by case basis whether those messages should be distributed; 50k is already a lot of data; the upper limit is for security reasons and should avoid the distribution of powerpoint presentations etc. Please try to limit the number of messages which are overly long).
b. The list access should be limited to list members only (This rule is not yet in effect for our list since sometimes members send messages from an address which is different from the normal one. I could arrange that in our case access is free as long as the list is not misused by too many people from outside. Thus please inform me if you believe that you get too many messages from non-delegates).
Best regards Otto
