    3. Just a reminder....if emails are sent out to the list, and your messages bounce 3 times for whatever reason (mailbox full, changed email address, etc.) you are AUTOMATICALLY removed from the list. I am not doing it. But...I get a copy of each and every bounce. If I know it's a good email address, I may email you directly to find out what the problem could be. A few days ago I was able to help someone whose messages were bouncing. I'd resubscribe her, and then she'd be unsubscribed again. This happened several times. When we checked further, we found that her ISP provider had installed a spam blocker without telling her. It was interpreting the mailing list messages as spam and bouncing them back to me and she wasn't getting anything. She had to go to her provider and throw a "hissy fit" to have their spam blocker disabled. If you use Norton's, there is a spam blocker included there that you can set to allow messages and not allow others. You can make the choice; it is not made for you. It is very reliable and is all you need (in my opinion). Works great for me and I'm on many Rootsweb mailing lists.
