Hello James,
Did you try to send the message from the new account? I don't remember seeing it...

Good idea. Page has been updated; I'll announce it to the list now.

OK. I added this address to the list, but turned off mail delivery for it so it should be good for sending but will not fill up with extra copies of

Hi Tom
Sorry -- I'd forgotten this detail. But I doubt I can get anything done to fix it at this end. I'll drop a line to IT services, whose typical approach to anything non-obvious is to reassign it to someone I can't contact directly and ignore it forever.
There's james@jbsumner.com , I suppose -- I try not to use this much, but it will do the job. Please set it up as accepted.
Thanks! James

Hello James,
What I recall finding when we checked before is that this was a case of your email server being unable to find the sigcis.org domain or communicate with the SMTP receiver running on it (failing on RCPT as it tries to establish the recipient) and therefore refusing to transmit the message.
It is not that the SIGCIS listserv receiving the message and rejecting it for some reason. That makes it much harder to fix, as it's a problem
[Forwarded from James Sumner -- james.sumner@manchester.ac.uk.] Dear listmembers The full version of "History of computing in the UK: a resource guide" is now up on the SIGCIS site, joining Tom Haigh's more general resource guide and Chigusa Kita's Japanese listing. Please take a look: http://www.sigcis.org/britain Suggested additions and corrections are very welcome -- as are comments on the arrangement and scope. Putting together this kind of finding aid always involves a lot of subjective decisions about what to include and how to present it. For the record, my ground rules have been - to offer starting-points for researchers, rather than trying to be comprehensive - to follow the shape of the literature, rather than trying to give balanced coverage to areas where not much has been written - to focus on secondary sources, listing primary sources only when they're particularly rewarding and/or the secondary source base is particularly light - not to exclude anything purely on the grounds that it's difficult to access. I hope I've managed to come up with something most people will find useful. Thanks again to everyone who has contributed material so far! Best James On 17/12/2010 18:57, Thomas Haigh wrote: that

taking place in the interaction between the two servers that is for some reason only afflicting your email server and maybe a few others.
I am cc'ing Brent to see if he has any ideas.
As a workaround do you have another email account you can use for SIGCIS? I can manually add it as an accepted sender to both lists.

Tom,
This is evidently a persistent problem. Checking my mail archives shows that I haven't been able to get a message through since July.
Please could you forward the message?
Thanks James

Dear all
As (repeatedly) promised, a revised version is up as a draft -- not publicly visible -- at http://www.sigcis.org/node/113
Comments welcome. Do we think this is now in a fit state to be promoted to the membership? (If so, could someone please tell me how to make it appear as a link from the main site?)
