[ase-users] Administrative message: Migration of listserv.fysik.dtu.dk on December 15

[Ole Holm Nielsen]

Dear users of the mailing list server listserv.fysik.dtu.dk,

The migration of the server has been completed today as scheduled.

We had some problems with the spamfilter of office.com after the 
migration, but that seems to be working correctly now.

If you have any problems accessing the server's web-page, or in sending or 
receiving E-mails to the lists, please send mail to my E-mail address
(shown below in the signature and in the Cc: field) including all 
available error messages.

Best regards,
Ole
