    1. [NSW-W] [Admin] Changing e-mail addresses
    2. Linda Barraclough
    3. Hi Everyone, With SPAM getting right out of control, a lot of people are changing e-mail addresses. Which is fine. :) But this is just a reminder that what you need to do if you are on a list is to unsubscribe using your old address and then resubscribe using the new address. The subscription address for both is: [name of list]-L-request@rootsweb.com (for list/individual messages) or [name of list]-D-request@rootsweb.com (for Digest/consolidated messages) Use either "unsubscribe" or "subscribe" (depending on what you are doing), and the computer will deal with you just fine. At the moment I am getting quite a few messages (sometimes five a day) from people who just e-mail me or the list (which is not the preferred option!) saying they have changed their addresses. Often if it is to me I have no idea what list they are talking about (I administer a number) or I have no idea what the old e-mail address is that they want unsubscribed. So the answer is - just unsubscribe from the old address yourself, and subscribe using the new one. HOWEVER - if you have a listing in the surname pages you do need to e-mail me off-list, telling me which list homepages you are listed on, plus the old and new e-mail addresses. Otherwise there will be someone out there who is looking for you, and they will not be able to find you. Which would be sad. So you do need to spell it out for me in really simple terms - would love to have memorised where everyone is, but that is just not an option. Cheers Linda List-admin kapana@netspace.net.au
