Thanks, Bill...that reminded me to verify that our service description for
mailing list offerings advises people to be sure of the name when they
request the list.  And probably make the statement stronger if it is there

   --John (who is about to undertake a transfer of mailing lists to a
machine with

Much newer Linux
Much newer Exim
Much newer Mailman
Probably a different location for the Mailman list directory...
I think I'll probably recreate the lists.  And then there are the four
still on Majordomo on an even older server.)
