Inasmuch as I received fourteen copies of the attached, I thought to share
one with my favorite list and group.  Review of the convoluted path this 
took to reach me may be of interest.  Five more copies, in addition to this
one, came by way of mhs-relay.cs.wisc.edu; four others arrived from
relay.surfnet.nl, three from relay.CDNnet.CA, and one directly from
sun2.mhs-relay.ac.uk .

Subject: Changes to Goldgate service

It has been necessary to make some changes in the administration of the
GoldGate service.  This service is no longer provided by Interspan;
instead, it is operated by Net-Tel Computer Systems Ltd on behalf of the
Joint Network Team.  Normal JNT 'acceptable use' restrictions continue to
apply.

The overall characteristics of the system remain as before, but as part of
this reorganisation all of the addresses and mailbox numbers have changed.
The existing database of registered users has been retained, such that each
user has a new mailbox number directly related to the old one.

All of the old mailbox numbers were of the form:  10124:ISL10xxx
All of the new mailbox numbers are of the form:   10101:JNT10xxx

For example, if your old mailbox number was 10124:ISL10001, your mailbox
number is now 10101:JNT10001

The address used to send mail into Telecom Gold has also changed:

Old addresses were of the form:
  C=GB; A=Interspan; O=Gateway To Gold; G=yyyyy; S=xxxxxx;
New addresses are of the form:
  C=GB; P=uk.ac; O=GoldGate; G=yyyyy; S=xxxxxx;

For example, the new address to use to send to a mailbox of 10087:CQQ061 is
  C=GB; P=uk.ac; O=GoldGate; G=10087; S=CQQ061;

On Grey Book systems, this is equivalent to:
  10087.CQQ061@uk.ac.goldgate

These changes have now taken effect, and all messages passing through the
system will bear the new addresses or mailbox numbers.  The old
addresses/mailbox numbers will be redirected automatically to the new ones
for a short period.   Note in particular that the old mailbox numbers are
expected to stop working very soon - you are advised to notify Gold users
of your change of mailbox number as soon as possible.

We apologise for the short notice of these changes; this has been caused by
difficulties at BT in making the new numbers work ahead of the fixed
deadline for the withdrawal of the old numbers.
