Listserv Upgrade on November 15

Contributed by John Owen, Director

 

On behalf of the LBPD listserv manager:

As a Sailor mailing listserv (@lists.sailor.lib.md.us) subscriber, you are receiving this email as notification that the Sailor mailing listserv server will be upgraded on Monday, November 15, 2021. The upgrade will start at 8 am, the process will take approximately less than 1 hour, and there is no downtime expected during the upgrade.

After the upgrade is complete you can expect to see some new features, including:

• Keep listserv emails out of junk and spam folders through additional validation and safety checks.
• Improved system security and quality. The upgrade will bring the server and mailing platform to the latest version.

Please note the following changes:

The name of the listserv group will no longer be listed as a prefix on the email subject line. 

Current email subject line:

[Listserv Name] + <email subject line>

After upgrade the email subject line will be:

Email subject line only

For example, if an email is posted to the LBPD listserv with the subject line “Upcoming Program”, the current subject line is “[LBPD] Upcoming Program”. After the upgrade, the subject line will be “Upcoming Program”.

A confirmation email will be sent out once the upgrade is complete. This email address is not monitored, please do not respond to this email.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
