CCL: The CCL goes away....

Thanks for supporting this for so long. It has been an invaluable resource throughout my life in computational chemistry. I, for one, will miss it.
 Enjoy your retirement,

 Dear CCL Subscribers,
 CCL Closure
 
With some melancholic feelings I need to announce that I will be closing the CCL Mailing list, i.e., the mail sent to chemistry-#-ccl.net <mailto:chemistry-#-ccl.net> will no longer distribute messages to CCL Subscribers. It will happen within a week or two. This service is just no longer used, that is, it is no longer needed. Yet, operating this kind of service is a lot of work due to the overwhelming level of spam attempts and also exploits to attack the server. On top of this, I am getting senile, and keeping up with these developments becomes a burden. So, at some point (a week or two) the address chemistry-#-ccl.net <mailto:chemistry-#-ccl.net> and corresponding Web pages to submit messages to the list, will no longer distribute email to subscribers.
 
I will try to keep the CCL Web site running for a bit longer, so if you need to grab something from there, you still have a month or two. Also, since there are some unexpired position openings announcements ( https://server.ccl.net/jobs <https://server.ccl.net/jobs>; ), I need to run this site, as it was my commitment. I plan to do some traveling later this summer and fall, and I will probably close the CCL Web site at this time. Leaving the server without monitoring is becoming a very risky proposition lately.
 
I would like to thank all CCL participants, for being with me. Some of you were members of CCL Community for a long time. It makes me believe, that at some point, it was a useful service, and it helped Computational Chemistry to gain more popularity.
 Thank you for participating... It was a honor!
 Jan Labanowski
