Hello everyone We're baaaaaaaack! As you may have noticed, messages have started flowing on RootsWeb mailing lists following the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Ancestry. The Help Desk personnel have not posted a status message on the Help page (http://rootsweb.custhelp.com/) nor has staff let administrators know what's going on with the mailing lists, so we don't know what has happened with messages that were sent to the lists but not delivered over the last week and a half. Am keeping my fingers crossed that messages that went astray during the outage will eventually be distributed. Until we know that everything is copasetic, it would be wise to keep copies of messages you send to the lists in your email Sent folder and double-check that the messages actually reached the list by checking that you received list copies or that there's copies in the list's archives. Thanks for your patience. Happy researching! Carol and Lynne Liverpool Joint List Administrators Eng-Liverpool-admin@rootsweb.com

More recent ones may well still be held in a queue somewhere, but anything more than five days out will have been returned. Hopefully people will have kept copies of their messages and will get round to re-sending them... Angelika
