There have recently been changes to the ALE server. As a side
effect of this, some mailing list configuration details have
also changed. Remember- if you have a question about how a
mailing list runs, please don't clutter the list with it, but
send it to the list owner who can tell you what's going on.
">ale-owner@ale.org is the contact address for this list.
A quick update as to the recent list changes:
Friday afternoon mail service was taken down on the ALE server
and the mail system was converted to Qmail (from Sendmail). This
is to get ready for this week's move to a completely new server,
which will be running Qmail.
The ALE mailing list reply-to: not being set to the list is
something that's been set in the list configuration for a long
time. It's designed to keep people from accidentally sending
personal replies to the list. This is widely considered a
Good Idea on mailing lists, and has been detailed in a paper
by Chip Rosenthal- 'Reply-To Munging Considered Harmful':
