Question: I sent a post to a mailing list. Why is it not posted on the list? Answer: You might have sent it to the wrong list or the wrong address. Remember that the "-request" address for the list is for computer commands and is not the address for posts to the list. Check the header of a piece of list mail to see the correct name and address for the list. It should be in this form: LISTNAME@rootsweb.com. Are you still getting the list mail? If not, you might have been unsubscribed. Use Password Central or My Account to see what lists you are subscribed to. If you are still getting the list mail, but your post did not appear on it, then you might have a problem with the subject line of your post or with your email address. Sometimes if you leave the subject line blank, the computer will take it as a misdirected subscribe or unsubscribe request and reject the post by forwarding it to the list administrator instead of the list. Also the post must be in plain text only. No HTML or attachments. You must post to a list using your exact email address that you used when you subscribed. Check a piece of list mail and see what address the computer used to send you the list mail and compare it to the address you are now using as your return (reply to) address. They must be EXACTLY the same. Any additional characters or words or even an extra space and the computer will not recognize you. If you have more than one address and wish to post from both, contact your list administrator to request the second address be placed on the accept list. Addresses on this list will be able to post to a list, but will not be sent the list mail. Mailman, the mailing list software we use, has a "not me too" setting that stops you from getting copies of your own post. Check with the list admin to make sure that is not checked.Also check the list archives to see if the post went out to the list. The archive is subscribed to the list like any other user. If the post went out, it will appear there. This usually happens in minutes but if the servers are bogged down, it could take a day or more. If the post is there, and you did not receive it, check your spam filters and with your ISP to see if they are blocking your list mail. To contact the List Administrator of any RootsWeb list, send an email to: LISTNAME-admin@rootsweb.com Substitute the list's full name for LISTNAME. For example, if you were writing to the FAKENAME-L List Administrator, the address would be FAKENAME-admin@rootsweb.com
