RE:  Email address change for processing GCN Circulars
DT:  18 Sep 04

There is a new machine that processes the incoming/outgoing GCN Circulars.
The 'capella' machine now does the processing; the old machine was 'lheawww'.

People submitting circulars are encouraged to send their circular submissions to:
"gcncirc@capella.gsfc.nasa.gov   instead of the old address:
"gcncirc@lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov.  There is a forwarding_file in place
on the old "lheawww" machine, so any future submission that is sent to the old address
will still be automaticaly processed as before (ie totally transparent to the sender).
This forwarding will be in place for a long long time, but like all computer/network
systems, things change.  I will guarentee the forwarding for at least a year.
So, please, change your emails lists, aliases, cheat-sheets, etc.

The change was made 8 days ago, and the last 26 Circulars have been processed
with the new "capella" machine.

If anybody is doing filtering on the distributed GCN Circulars, you should know
that the "From"-line in the email header has changed from:
"From gcncirc@lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov"
to:
"From gcncirc@capella.gsfc.nasa.gov".
This is the only change that is visible to the world community.

The motivation for this machine change is to consolodate the GCN activities.
This reduction in the number of machines (and indirectly, in the number of routers
and gateways) will increase the livetime of the GCN system.  (One bad link in chain
breaks the whole chain.)  The 'capella' machine is the machine that also processes
the GCN Notices.

If anyone has any problems with this change, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Scott
