[PHX-Skywarn] New WX Servers

[Allen Sklar]

Hello All
This is a repost from a while ago...
If you have any problems, please ask...
I just checked the e-mail roster on the new server...
Only about a third on the spotters have joined the new server....
I know a few of you dont want to move to the new server, because
you have your own info source, But I really dont want a last minute 
rush when storm season starts, lets get the bugs out NOW..... 
Thanks All....

Hello All...
I trust all of you had nice holidays.....
There is a few changes with the way weather alerts will be sent out
for a host of reasons,,, 
The current alert list server (Phx-Skywarn) will be shut off in  the
next few weeks....
Because of this, you will NEED TO SIGN UP ON THE NEW LIST ASAP....
This list mimics what the qth.net list server did.
We can no longer send mail to the qth.net server due to the
security settings on that server.
The svr-spotter listserver should take the place of the qth.net server.
You will need to tell all of the spotters who wish to receive the  wx data 
notification to subscribe to the new list server.
This list does not archive any data, it just mails the information
 to the members.
http://nws.phx.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/svr-spotter
They will have to be approved by myself, Frank or David  Runyan
 in order to belong to the list server.  
Members can post messages to the new listserver.
------------------------------------------
County specific List servers - 
http://nws.phx.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/ 
Spotters can also join the county specific lists to see archived
data. It is recommended that the member turn off the mail notification for
the county listservers.  The possibility of multiple mailing for one
product is very likely. Products are disseminated to the lists via county
 and zone codes.
Again all members will have to be approved by David  Runyan or myself.
The real benefit to this setup is that any person can belong to
 their appropriate county listserver and turn off the sendmail for that
list. They  can then also belong to the new svr-spotter list and get
the mail notification. They then have the option of going into the county
listserver archives for current or old WX data.  This will give
 them  total flexibility and control over what  data they wish to receive.
So, lets get the new list up and running....
Please note, this WILL NOT EFFECT THE WX7PHX LIST 
If you have any questions please post to one of the lists
and we will try to answer asap....
Please dont remove your address from this server (Phx-SkyWarn)....
I will leave Phx-Skywarn in hot stand-by till we are sure
that the new servers will work...

Thanks All,,,,
