RootsWeb has just finished making some significant changes to their server addresses. With some small exceptions (AOL being the big one), the changeover went well. Your ISP will now see mail from RootsWeb coming from a different address and you may need to change your spam filtering. If you are not receiving your list mail you need to contact your ISP and have them check their spam filtering for RootsWeb. They have attempted to contact most ISPs that have reported problems in the past but may have missed some. Of course, if your ISP is having a problem you won't get this message... It's a catch 22. If any of your friends mention they aren't getting list mail tell them about this.

I received this message from a subscriber to the Albany Co. NY Rootsweb board. Dear List Administrator, > > I have not received any mail from the rootsweb mail list for the past several > days. I called the AOL Postmaster at 1-888-212-5537 to find out why this was > happening. They told me that because of a flood of complaints from AOL > members that they, the AOL members were receiving so much spam with their mailing > list email, AOL shut down all the email going to AOL members. I was not one of > the ones who complained and I have not had any problems with receiving spam > with my rootsweb mail lists, I knew nothing about this. > > The AOL Postmaster told me that the only way this problem could be solved was > that each List Administrator must contact the AOL Postmaster at the this > phone number 1-888-212-5537 in order to solve this problem. Until the List > Administrator straightens out the problem none of us who belong to AOL will receive > the rootsweb mail. > > So please List Administrators call the above number and straighten out this > mess.
