Greeting everyone!

For those that haven't already seen the news elsewhere, Mozilla is
closing one of its data centers, and it happens to be the one housing
the list server that hosts this mailing list.  They are not planning on
moving the server to another data center because they are moving the
lists on it to a groups package provided by their email host instead. 
Their new package isn't really a good fit for us.

This weekend, we'll be moving the list to a server hosted by the
Bugzilla Project itself.

The new list email address will be suppor...@bugzilla.org .

The new server is also running Mailman, so the headers won't change much
except for the ID of the list, so if you need to update your filters it
should be a pretty straightforward swap of the new list ID. The existing
subscriber list from Mailman will be moved. We do not have access to the
Google Groups subscriber list, so if you're reading this there and want
to stay on the list, you'll need to resubscribe via Mailman on the new
server (we're grabbing the subscriber list off the old server in the
next day or so, so subscribing there now might not make the switch to
the new server). https://lists.bugzilla.org/listinfo/support-list

There will no longer be any access via Google Groups or NNTP to the
list. For the immediate future we'll just have the list archives
(starting over from scratch) in Mailman (the older archives will still
be in Google Groups, just read-only).  We are working on getting the
Mailman 3 suite set up and migrating to that at some point in the near
future. It has a web-based posting functionality for those that want
that part back.

Sorry for the disruption this causes!
