[TCML] Bounces and server update



Greetings all,

Many of you have gotten bounce messages from this list. I set your subscriptions back, removing the bounce score as far as I can tell. The messages were indeed legitimate but no further action should be necessary if you are reading this.

Of course if you don't get this message, then yes, go ahead and resubscribe or click the link in your email: "If you have network connectivity problems, send an email to support at..." :-)

I believe that the cause of the email problems was due to a change in email policy on the part of yahoo that was perhaps incorrectly implemented or took some time to go into effect. It appears that my test message from a few minutes ago went out and I saw that all the yahoo and hotmail addresses were accepted with status=sent, so we are probably out of that briar patch.

On to grander things...
After investigating a cloud solution vs small and quiet hardware here at my "local data center" (home), I have decided to go with a virtual machine in a data center. The cost is like $13.55 or something per month, which is less than the power required to run a desktop 24/7. Plus, in the event that something happens to me, I can just hand the "keys" to someone and voila, the tesla list lives on. The hosting company does monthly backups and I'll be able to run backups (like I currently do) as well. This will provide a level of safety and comfort.

I'll keep people up to date on the status of things and once they are in place I may ask for contributions or not.

Thanks for your patience.

Chip
