Complying with the increasing number and complexity of anti-spam and other e-mail filters on the Internet has reached a breaking point. Our provider Pair.com announced that they will end support for mailing lists at the end of this year.<o:p></o:p></p><p>After reviewing our options, we determined that <b>groups.io</b> is our best option for continuing to maintain the NW-Mailing-List.<br>Groups.io expanded features such as file and photo sharing should make the NW-Mailing-List a better tool for sharing our collective knowledge and resources. Another consideration was that groups.io will not resell our email addresses or target marketing material to you.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Sometime <b>Wednesday </b>you will receive an email from Groups.io notifying you that you have been added to the groups.io NW-Mailing-List. A link is included in the email for logging in and establishing an account password. (Yes another darn password!) Fortunately you will not need the password to participate in the NW-Mailing-List. Messages will continue to be email based although now a web interface is available for those that prefer that choice. The difference will be that emails will be sent to <<b><a href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@groups.io">nw-mailing-list@groups.io</a></b>> instead of to the nwhs.org domain. <o:p></o:p></p><p>As we make this transition, <b>check your email spam settings</b> and make sure the address <a href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@groups.io"><nw-mailing-list@groups.io></a> is whitelisted so you will see all the messages from the list.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you are already using groups.io with the same e-mail address, NW-Mailing-List will show up in Your Groups.<br>If you are new to groups.io, please click on the link included in the email to establish a password to go with your email address. This will unlock a web interface where you can customize the way messages are sent and received from your account.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you want to opt out of the new mailing list, email Ron at <a href="mailto:davis@nwhs.org"><davis@nwhs.org></a> before noon on Wednesday. If you miss the deadline, there will be a link in the groups.io email to unsubscribe.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Thank you all for participating and contributing to this amazing source of N&W/VGN information.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Ron Davis<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
