(Please forgive the unusually wide crossposting, I'm trying to make sure
that everyone who could use this service is reached in a timely fashion)

I don't think anyone's posted this to Usenet yet.

With the closing of Omnifest, a lot of people are going to be left with
an e-mail address that no longer works.  I thought it would be appropriate
to try to help the situation.  After some talks with the Omnifest people,
I've created a mail forwarding service that will handle mail once Omnifest
is gone.

The mail forwarding service will allow you to provide a new address at
which to receive mail.  It is not a mail reading service, and it is not
intended to be permanent.  It is intended as a transitional aid, so that
the people who aren't aware of your new e-mail address may still reach
you.

It's very simple to use.

telnet to "omniforward.sol.net".  Log in using your existing Omnifest
username and password (if you've lost it, I can't do anything for you,
as I have no way to authenticate Omnifest users).

It will tell you where your mail is currently forwarded, and ask if you
want to change it.  If so, answer "y", and provide a new address.  It
will then prompt you again with the address you just entered, and if
it is correct, answer "n" to exit.  Otherwise, answer "y" to change it
again.

You may forward your mail anywhere, including a Solaria account, an
Exec-PC account, or whereever else you happen to have a mailbox.

I do ask that you notify people sending messages to your old address
that you have a new address.

Omnifest is apparently planning to switch to the forwarder on or around
the 30th.  You will need to continue to read your e-mail on Omnifest
until then.

Hope this helps out a little.
