    3. The new Rootsweb mailing list system (Mailman) will be going into effect over the next couple of weeks, staggered alphabetically, according to the following schedule: Thursday, August 17 - Lists A-C Monday, August 21 - Lists D-F Tuesday, August 22 - Lists G-I Wednesday, August 23 - Lists J-L Thursday, August 24 - Lists M-O Monday, August 28 - Lists P-R Tuesday, August 29 - Lists S-U Wednesday, August 30 - Lists V-Z Check this link for any changes to the timetable: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html While the "migration" of the lists to a new server should process uneventfully for listmembers, there are a few points I need to cover: 1. AOL users, please check your spam folders; and, if you find list mail held as spam, you will need to be sure to click the *THIS IS NOT SPAM* link to send the list mail to your current mailbox. This will 'train' the system to understand that mail from this new server is not spam. 2. If you are subscribed to both L & D mail modes of the list, the new system is not set up to send both to the same email address. If you want to be subscribed in both modes (many sub to both -- regular mail mode to read and delete and digest to file and save), it will be necessary to use another email address for your digest mail. It is my understanding that if you are subbed to the list in both mail modes with the same address you will be dropped from the digest list roster, so if this happens to you, please resub with another address (Yahoo is a good choice for an alternate addy). This will not effect those who sub in either of the mail modes, exclusively. 3. If you want to post from more then one account, just send me the address(es) of the extra account(s) and I will add them to the Accept List. This means you can *post* from any of those accounts but you will only *receive* the listmail from the one you originally used to subscribe. This feature is handy if you want to post from work but would prefer not to receive Rootsweb mail at your place of business. 4.In the event you receive an unsub notice, please contact me and I'll correct the problem.
