[78-L] Service interruption for 78-L

[Ron Fial]

Malcolm,  the change will be seamless.

The mail server hostname is:     klickitat.78online.com

The IP address of this server will change from 64.62.25.246   to 50.196.1.216
  so at some point, if you ping the hostname, you will see that it is at a different address.
The change should not affect any list member,  most people only connect to their
ISP's mail server.  

We will 'overlap"  both addresses for a few days until the new IP address
propagates on the Internet all over the  world, so at some point for a few hours you could
have some members acessing the old and some the new address!

Regards,
   Ron Fial

Will this change do anything to the current email address, or will that 
be seamless?
