Andrew - and all other listers Yes, Rootsweb are having a problem. This list isn't affected. Here is the e-mail all List admins had from Rootsweb: <<<Hi list administrators, The server LISTS5 is off-line with respect to sending and distributing mail, and it will be so **at least** for another couple of days. All other list servers are operating normally. How do you know if your list is on LIST2, LISTS3, LISTS5 or LISTS8? Go to your lists tools via http://lists.rootsweb.com/tools/LISTNAME Convert LISTNAME to your list's name. If the url changes to reflect LISTS2, LISTS3 or LISTS8, then it is not on LISTS5. If it still says LISTS or LISTS5, then it is on LISTS5 The basic story is that the server had had a hard disk problem earlier in the week, and when the disk was recovered by the system administrators, something else was broken and there followed a chain reaction that I was unable to stop until I got online later in the day. It will take a bit of cleaning up, nothing fatal just plain nuisance and time consuming. Brief information will be posted to the HelpDesk announcements zone, http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ for the information of list subscribers. As I am able, I will send messages to Listowners-L and for those not subscribed, you can see the messages in the list's archives http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/listowners As this mailing list is on LISTS, you will be unable to subscribe to the list for messages. If there is special information that you have to know about the repair operations, then these will be sent to you via this mailing list. For the moment, if there are any urgent questions or issues, please use the HelpDesk form http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help.cgi . Please don't mail me directly as I have a bit of work to keep me busy.
