[Psml] USPS Server is moving

[ITCom]

The following message does not pertain to SHOPUSPS.ORG which already resides
on the new server.

The USPS server is moving to substantially faster, larger, and more reliable
hardware.  Beginning on Saturday, 16 September, at approximately 1200 EDT,
ITCOM will begin capturing all data on the current server.  Beginning at
that time, you should not make ANY changes to ANY type of data stored on the
server.  If you do, it will most probably not be moved to the new server and
consequently will become unavailable shortly thereafter. At roughly 2300 EDT
of the same day, ITCOM will begin loading the captured data onto the new
server.  Ba*** on the timing delay involved in propagating a domain location
throughout the various internet domain name servers, the address
WWW.USPS.ORG will be unreliable (may retrieve the old or the new site) from
Friday the 15th through Monday the 17th, and at various times during that
period may return a "site unknown" message.

We expect service will be totally unavailable during the several hours
around Midnight of the 16th. However, continued tweaking, by our server
experts, of some applications might be required through Monday.  We would
appreciate your cooperation in not  attempting to reference the site during
this period. We will advise when we believe all is well.

The period before the 15th might be a good opportunity to ensure that your
off-line backups are up-to-date.

Sorry if you receive multiple copies/versions of this message. We are trying
to send it many different ways, in order to help assure that those who need
it will see it.
