[ic] Website down

[gert at 3edge.com]

Hi Billy,

 

This is your first post I believe: https://www.interchangecommerce.org/pipermail/interchange-users/2002-February/017919.html

 

And to throw in my 2 cents: I don’t mind the occasional reject/approve of mailing list message, I believe we have the (front end) spam issues pretty much under control since October 2021. However I’m not involved in the backend maintenance of the mailing list software and I can imagine that takes also time/effort from Jon & others.

So if it stays I’m happy to continue to be the arbiter of spam, if not then it was a blast and just have to drag my ass to IRC again once in a while! 😊

 

CU,

 

Gert

Team,

 

I will also be sad to see such a historic piece of history be taken down. I would like to offer anything that I can to help in keeping this thing up and running if possible or helping in other ways? Server, space, time, etc…

 

I would also like to see when I become a member if possible? If someone could lead me to the place to see just when I subscribe to this list? I haven’t used the software/list for many years but I used it a lot back in the early 2000’s.

 

Thank You,

B. Mayberry

I'm sure he appreciates that. 😂

Thanks for your note! Good to hear from you.

 

Email seems inherently as good as ever, but it is part of a larger 

ecosystem that has become very centralized, hostile to smaller servers, 

and clogged with spam, phishing, and abuse.

 

There isn't really anything better that is open and accessible to 

everyone, so I am sad to see it so hobbled.

 

Jon
