Hi Hinds-L member: As of 7 a.m. on Dec. 8th - Rootsweb is doing some upgrading of our lists that will take about 10 hours. I am pasting a portion of a notice from Rootsweb list administrators below. Regards, Nan [email protected] --------------------------- RootsWeb will be upgrading its lists3.rootsweb.com mail server. This is desperately needed! Q: When will the upgrade take place? A: The upgrade will commence Friday, 8 December 2000 at 7:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time (GMT -08:00) Q: How will the upgrade impact my ability to maintain mailing list(s)? A: Starting at 7:00 A.M. (PST), lists3.rootsweb.com will be unavailable. We expect the entire upgrade to take 10 hours. Lists3 will not process mail for most of that time. Q: Will people still be able to post to mailing lists during the upgrade? A: Yes and No. - No messages will be lost, though will be delayed. - Messages will not be posted to mailing lists until *after* the upgrade/move is fully completed. - No subscribe/unsubscribe commands will be lost, though they will be delayed.
