For 11 years The Mail Archive has used the single "archive-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected]"
address for all subscriptions (well, not really.....it used to be "
[email protected]" in the old days).  This has worked out nicely as a simple,
easy-to-remember address for list admins.

Starting this past week, Google created a limit of 200 groups subscriptions
per email address.  Any existing Google Group subscriptions using
archive-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected] will continue to work fine.  However, new
subscriptions must use one of the aliases we've created:

   archive+gg1-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected] <archive%2Bgg1-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected]>
   archive+gg2-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected] <archive%2Bgg2-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected]>
   archive+gg3-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected] <archive%2Bgg3-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected]>
   ...
   archive+gg20-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected] <archive%2Bgg20-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/[email protected]>

These aliases work exactly the same as archive-piJqB+B6DfPJghKJT/UW3+G/[email protected]

Please let us know if you have any questions or run into any problems with
this.
