I did a little more digging on my own after posting my query - I hadn't realized Backserv was Swets.  We're looking at changing our ILS here and so many things have gone under or over the wire for me these past few months.

We got the usual mailing lists membership reminder on Feb. 1.

But then, It turns out the last list I sent, on Feb. 2, was returned to me as undeliverable.  (I have Backserv posts automatically routed to another email folder.)   And the last posts I got were dated Feb. 4.

I did, just now, email mailman-owner@nalist1.swets.com, and so far, at least, it hasn't been returned.

I will post again if I learn anything more.  It really would be nice if someone else would take it over.   Ebsco people, perhaps?  Or . . .   I don't even know what doing something like this entails.  Is it a lot of work?  Time?  Money?   Or is the feeling that it's just not that useful any more, that the digital age obviates the need for paper replacements?

Sincerely,

Thanks, Sara.
Have you found out the reason why yet?
Or has anyone else heard anything yet?

Hello Everyone,
My student worker is actually in charge of the backserv. I'm not sure why nothing has been posted since the beginning of February, but I will get to the bottom of it. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
