Hello, WikiEN-l subscribers.
This coming Saturday at 10:00 UTC/GMT, the mailing lists will be
shifted to a new server. This will cause a downtime for the mailing
lists (and may also incidentally affect other Wikimedia mail systems).
The mailing lists will also be shifted to a new subdomain, so that the
WikiEN-l mailing list email address will in fact be either
"wikien-l at lists.wikimedia.org" or "wikien-l at lists.wikipedia.org" (I
don't know myself yet; probably the former). You will still be able to
send mail to the mailing list via the current (wikien-l at wikipedia.org)
email address, but all emails will have fields like "reply-to" reflect
the new address. This will break most email filters which subscribers
have in place to tag mailing list emails and sort them, so many of you
will have to tweak your settings a bit once the change is made.
Sorry for any inconvenience and confusion this might cause.
