Re: Using PHP on the new server

Hmmm. Now that's odd. britiac.miniserver is not parsing my .user.ini file, but on my sandbox server (on britiac3) is IS parsing it. Thanks for doing the switch-over, Cookie. My .user.ini file is now being parsed, so the problem quoted above must be specifically do do with access via the miniserver ...

Re: Using PHP on the new server

Hi Cookie, I think Im ready for you to move the Hidden Earth site onto britiac3 (No rush of course - it can wait another year :-). When you have flipped the switch, could you let me know straightaway (by text) so that I can do a full test? I cannot test it at britiac3.miniserver.com because the serv...

Re: John Hey

I bumped into John several times on LDWA walking events in Yorkshire but mostly, of course, I will remember him for the HeyPhones. If I recall, correctly, John manufactured some 50 units, which have been in regular use amongst the UK’s Cave Rescue Groups for some 15 years now. Additionally, CREG dis...

Re: Problems with Mailman

This is distinctly odd. The list is not posting to the TLDs .ca, .com, .net, .org. Is it just co-incidental that those are in the groupings that Mailman apparently handles separately, viz, from https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2011-October/072413.html ... the entire list is split into...

CREG-Announce Mailing List

There seems to be a problem with the CREG-announce mailing list , in that it is not sending to all the subscribers. There are plenty of reasons why this can happen - including the fact that the list will block your subscription if it gets too many bounces from your address. However, none of the obvi...

Problems with Mailman

Cookie, ... and anyone else.... Is there any known problem with Mailman at the moment? It is behaving very oddly. Several people on the CREG-announce list are not receiving messages. I have checked the server log and it looks like they are not being sent; that is... It is not a problem due to grey-l...
