Subdomains

 

Hi everyone


Have been following upgrade discussions on Beta over last two days.? I need help in basic understanding? of recently added subdomains and their use.

As background, we are in the process of setting up and migrating a group that has been with yahoo since 1999.? Currently 12,000 member? ( which will undoubtedly change with migration and real bouncing protocol) and over 225,000 archived messages. We have set up the parent/main group and three subgroups which were separate groups on yahoo.

Thanks for any incite.

Nancy,

Have been following upgrade discussions on Beta over last two days. I
need help in basic understanding of recently added subdomains and their
use.
The basic idea is to give the main group and its subgroups a common addressing scheme, and perhaps one that's more intuitive than what went before.

For example, my PTA group includes all members in the main group, and I have subgroups for the board, for teachers, and for active volunteers. This allows us to easily communicate with the appropriate people within the organization.

So, in the new "subdomain" addressing scheme I have:

[email protected] All members of our PTA unit
[email protected] The board of our PTA unit
[email protected] Teachers who are also members of our PTA unit
[email protected] Active volunteers in our PTA unit

I'll probably change "main" to "members", meaning PTA unit members, but I haven't decided on that completely. To me "main" doesn't convey very well who will receive messages sent to that address.

For the subgroups anyway, you can see how "board at mhs-ptsa" reads very naturally, and likewise for the others. I just need to find a word that works as well for the main group.

Is there any reason to not change our ¡°main¡± to ¡°ECIR¡± ?which would then read:

No reason I can think of.

Some might see it as slightly redundant, but I think for your purpose it might make more sense to your members than "main@ECIR"
