We are happy to report we have yet to find any glitches! But we do anticipate that those who use more than 1 email address might find that messages sent to the group are \u201cWaiting for Moderator Approval\u201d. This is a security feature and that is a good thing! Here is an explanation:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The new email system is \u201csubscription based\u201d which means that you can only send email to the group if your email address has been registered. Nothing to do here... you have already been registered using the same email address that you were using on the former RASCals or Yahoo groups. But many of you probably use more than 1 email address. For example, Your \u201cSmart Phone\u201d (<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a> / <a href="http://me.com">me.com</a> / etc.) might be receiving email for one of your email addresses (<a href="mailto:sallysmith@cogeco.com">sallysmith@cogeco.com</a>) but if you send email (or reply to an email) from your smart phone, it might be sending from a different email account (<a href="mailto:sallysmith@gmail.com">sallysmith@gmail.com</a>).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If this sounds like it applies to you, just send me an email (<a href="mailto:webmaster@hamiltonrasc.ca">webmaster@hamiltonrasc.ca</a> or <a href="mailto:gary@bendun.net">gary@bendun.net</a>) with a list of email addresses that you would commonly use and I can make sure you won\u2019t have your emails held waiting for approval. You will still have only 1 \u201cregistered\u201d email, but we can add your other email addresses to a list of \u201capproved senders\u201d.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just a reminder, the new email addresses for RASC Hamilton are:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="mailto:astronomers@hamiltonrasc.ca">astronomers@hamiltonrasc.ca</a> (use this 99% of the time) \u2013 Includes Members AND Non-Members<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="mailto:members@hamiltonrasc.ca">members@hamiltonrasc.ca</a> (use this ONLY when your message is \u201cClub Business\u201d) Goes to only RASC Members and Associate Members (Paid)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Bulletin Board Update</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There is nothing \u201cnew\u201d to report, other than to say it is ready and eager for some new users to get in on the fun.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <a href="http://forum.hamiltonrasc.ca/">http://forum.hamiltonrasc.ca/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It is easy to register but we have now turned \u201cON\u201d the security feature that requires \u201cModerator Approval\u201d.

But I can\u2019t be at my computer 24/7 so I suggest you register tonight and get that chore out of the way.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'>TIP: Use your \u201creal name\u201d as your User Name. \u201cHandles\u201d like \u201cstud-muffin\u201d or \u201castrogod\u201d means I will need to send you an email asking who you are.
