[LUG]Re: Mailman version upgrade

[Alex Charrett <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lug,

If you are reading this then the good news is that the list is working on 
Mailman 3!

The web interface for Mailman 3 lives at https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/ 
and old Mailman 2 links will redirect.

To manage your subscription, you'll need to create an account with the 
email address you have subscribed to the list.  If you do not want to make 
any changes to your list subscription there is no need to do this now.

Happy mailing,
Alex.
