Dear AUDITORY list -
As you may know, since its creation in 1992, the AUDITORY
list has been run via a "listserv" server running at McGill
University.
Unfortunately, McGill experienced a cyber attack a few
weeks back, and as a result have blocked web access to the
listserv (
lists.mcgill.ca). I don't know
if this will be permanent or not.
This doesn't prevent the email list from working, but it
does have some impact on AUDITORY:
(1) The archive of past list messages at McGill is no
longer externally accessible. The mirror of the list archive
at
http://www.auditory.org/postings.html
is unaffected, but it is updated only sporadically. I will
work to get the mirror updating automatically and promptly
again.
(2) When you post to the list, you get an email response
from the listserv requiring confirmation of your post (an
anti-spam measure). You used to be able to confirm by
clicking a link in that message (which was convenient, but has
fallen foul of the site blocking). Now, the only working way
to confirm your post is to "reply" to the confirmation email
with a message containing OK.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope this won't
seriously impact the usefulness of the list.
Best,
DAn.
