Hello All,
From this day on please use the new OCC List Serv - occ2@PROTECTED
The "test" list serv occ_test@PROTECTED will be disabled and no longer available.
The "old" list serv occ@PROTECTED will remain enabled for a short period of time.
Why do we have a new list serv?
Bluehost, the company that provides our web hosting services, does not allow for email throughput (750/hr) that is adequate for our needs. The result is that we would see emails dropped on the list serv. Some people would get them, some would not. We would also see emails to certain domains not get delivered due to SPAM rules.
For the "occ2" list serv, we are using a 3rd party package, DadaMail, to send our emails over to Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES). Using an industrial strength email service such as Amazon SES will solve our throughput restriction (now at 50,000/day with a max throughput of 14/sec), as well as have a high deliverability rate due to Amazon being a trusted mail origin.
Do I have to do anything ?
No!
All of the email addresses have been ported over to the new list as well as the delivery preferences. If you find something amiss, please contact me directly (goetke1@PROTECTED).
In summary, send any list serv messages to occ2@PROTECTED
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me.
Thanks,
Brian
