I have had a couple of the normal type spam to one list but they are just the same as seen previously Be interesting to know how they might be harvesting from Rootsweb, as far as I can tell the email address is not shown in the archives Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 12-Apr-18 4:04 PM, Lin Duke wrote: > Fingers crossed, no spam here > > Lin >

If you triggered something to put u in the spotlight you will have to undo it. Best bet is never open or reply to them and never go to a site to unsubscribe. Just block them and delete. Best bet. Most spam is blanket mail and not target mail. That only happens when your compromised either by your mail server or your oersonal action. On Thu, Apr 12, 2018, 7:42 AM David E.

Lynne, I am getting them by the dozen, including directly to my personal address. This is NO COINCIDENCE and someone already is tapping into the lists HARVESTING ADDRESSES FROM ROOTSWEB ALREADY.

You can add that email address to the banned list.

Subscribers will be sent posts from the lists to which they are subscribed whether registered or not. They can sub or unsub by sending email to the appropriate address as they did with the old Mailman software. They need to register if they want to MANAGE their subscriptions through the Mailman online interface. For example, your email address has changed and you can no longer send or receive mail using the old address. Login to the Mailman interface and update your email address there. Going on vacation for two weeks? Login to the Mailman interface and you can stop your list mail temporarily, without having to unsub then resub when you return. You can decide if you want to receive "duplicates," i.e. the copy sent to the list as well as the cc: to you as the original poster. There are a number of useful options for managing your subscriptions if you register. Pat A.

Thanks Anne Its so long since I needed to do it I can't even remember the way to do it in the old system, I seem to recall copying the url of the message and posting that to rootsweb, only the original poster could give permission to remove their post if I remember rightly But haven't found the way to do it in the latest Mailman Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 12-Apr-18 10:14 AM, Anne Burgess via LISTOWNERS wrote: > IIRC we have always had to ask RW Help if we want to get an item removed > from the Mailng List archives.

IIRC we have always had to ask RW Help if we want to get an item removed from the Mailng List archives.

Hi Marleen If you are thinking this latest version of Mailman has changed due to the EU law you are wrong When we changed to Mailman a few years ago the same facility was available then, but after some problems it was withdrawn so admins only had the functions Perhaps most subscribers are now more computer savvy and can handle it themselves but there will always be some who can't Otherwise why have an admin at all? As far as I can see the greatest effect of the GDPR will be the increase in the speed in which data is routinely destroyed as companies attempt to minimise the possibility of customer data getting into the wrong hands with a hefty fine ensuing And no doubt we will be plagued with requests from loads of companies and organisations for permission to use our data, most likely written in gobbledy gook language that no one can understand anyway ;-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 11-Apr-18 10:57 PM, Marleen Van Horne wrote: > Something that has not been discussed here is the General Data > Protection Regulation, a law passed by the European Union that goes into > effect on 25 May.  This law has been seriously discussed on the > Genealogy-DNA list, if you want to see the discussion, visit the > archives.  This law covers the privacy of every citizen of the EU, on > any computer anywhere in the world. > > My sense is, that is why our list subscribers need to manage their own > accounts, and most tools we had, as admins in the past, have been > transferred to our subscribers.  My understanding is that if something > happens that violates the privacy of a subscriber, as admins, we could > be held responsible.  If, however, only the subscribers can subscribe > themselves to the lists, manage their options and unsubscribe > themselves, they are the responsible party. > > There are three things we, as admins/owners can do:  put individuals on > moderation, put the whole list on moderation, or ban an address from > posting to a list.  I would think twice about doing things for a > subscriber that they should be doing for themselves, through their > accounts. > > Marleen Van Horne
