NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS FORMAT NOW OFFICIAL
--------------------------------------
As mentioned in System News on March 15, the official Internet domain name
for everything associated with BCPL.NET Internet Services is now BCPL.NET. 
One of the many advantages is that you can now shorten your e-mail address
to "user@bcpl.net". It is now time to implement that phase of the project.

In order to use the new address format you must make a few minor
configuration changes in your e-mail software. For more information on
this, point your Web browser at: 

    http://www.bcpl.net/help/newdom.html

That Web page provides general background information on the change, and
contains a link to specific instructions on making the necessary changes
in your e-mail program. The instruction pages can also be accessed from
the Help Desk's technical support index at: 

    http://www.bcpl.net/help/techsupport

Please read the instructions even if you are already using the new address
format! You may find something you didn't know.

Reconfiguring your e-mail software to use the new address format affects
only the e-mail address that appears on the "From:" line in your outgoing
mail. It does not prevent e-mail addressed the old way from being
delivered to you. Currently e-mail addressed any of the following ways
will be delivered correctly to "John Doe": 

       jdoe@mail.bcpl.lib.md.us
       jdoe@bcpl.lib.md.us
       jdoe@mail.bcpl.net
       jdoe@bcpl.net

However the new "jdoe@bcpl.net" format is now the only official one. 
Please reconfigure your mail program to use the "jdoe@bcpl.net" format as
soon as possible, and notify your e-mail correspondents of your new
address. E-mail sent to you using any of the other address formats will be
delivered correctly in the foreseeable future, but we cannot guarantee
that this will be true forever.
