Hi Folks,
It's been four days since we flipped the MX record and repointed all our
mail from the ibiblio.org mail servers to the servers at GMail. In summary,
there were a few bumps, but everything seems to be working now and we hope
you are happy with the transition.
I apologize for not warning everyone about the problem with DNS propagation
but on the whole, everything went smoothly. Dave Patton has recognized one
issue with email forwarding and SPAM but he also forwarded a link which
suggested a work around. The problem is that GMail is happy to forward your
mail, but not your spam. If you want to check your spam folder for false
positives you have to log into your account. Here is a link which should
help you set your forwarding up so *all* your mail, including spam, is
forwarded.

This isn't a perfect solution as I understand it doesn't completely forward
all the mail but it's the best solution we have right now.
Some users are also reporting problems posting to our listserv lists and we
are working with these users on a case by case basis.
Other than that, everything is working as expected. If you are experiencing
any sort of problem, please open a ticket. If you you are experiencing a
problem, chances are someone else is as well.
Thank you for your patience during this migration.
