Mary. On the held messages. Click the subject box and you will be able to read the message and headers. Never reject. Use discard . Reject sends the spammer a real message. This advertising can just get rw more spam.

Hi Mary The footer messages are being worked on although all I am seeing on posts is the generic footer messages The gateway was from Board to list I wouldn't *reject* any posts that are held, as you are alerting the spammers that the address exists Instead use discard But on held messages, you can click the blue title of the message to read it, and accept or discard from there Most I find are spam so discard If you find its a relevant post from someone but from an address not subscribed, you need to open a new email, copy the subject line and message into the email and give a reason for it not being accepted onto the list Its a lot of faff that we shouldn't need to do but its what we have at present Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18-Apr-18 4:48 PM, Mary Russell wrote: > I am basically reading the LO posts and not understanding much at all. > Still wondering if I should just toss in the towel.

Cool and awesome. All will be well in time. Lots of pressure. Now I have a better idea of just why and how something is being done. Patience should be given by all and simple questions about whats not working yet. I saw your answer about the fields and that was enough for me to see this is not anything close too simple. Every one sees things in thier world of normal don't work and its not simple just go fix it. And if you have to modify sudo or python commands. I really do not envy any one who is working on this. My friend the programmer has shown me a few things and just a simple error in any command could put a drastic tail spin on a program or web page. I already have a couple tail spins of my own lol. It is just really nice to have someone on lo who answers us. Thanks.

I am basically reading the LO posts and not understanding much at all. Still wondering if I should just toss in the towel. Lists and boards. I gather that the gateway is closed and will not open again. Yet on my Russell board I find this: Posts to this board are copied to the “RUSSELL-L " RootsWeb.com mailing list. Will that be removed? Even that is backwards, isn’t it. I thought list was gatewayed to board but board messages just stayed on the board and didn’t go to the list. Or did I remember that wrong too?. Now I am blindly rejecting posts from non subscribers and I can’t even read the message to see if they could be relevant or not?? If they were genealogy I could tell that person to please subscribe to the board and post there. My mother said “ confusion reigns supreme” I think it does Mary --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

We are currently restoring the archives and it is a very slow process. We are working our way through the 1000 most active lists, and have restored 2018-2011 and are working on 2010. If you are list only has archives for 2018, then it is not one of the most 1000 active lists.

Has the archives from before 2018 stopped being fed into new archives? I checked several lists and they start Jan 2018 and few already were as far as 2015 as of last month and since last month I haven't seen more. David Samuelsen

Some people see it as viewing rootsweb. Not the whole world viewing rootsweb. And what they might be using rootsweb online data for. People don't like spam but don't realize having addresses in the open. Any one in the world can target them for many reasons. Spammer scammers are accessing everything on the internet and its always in the news. Some people never know they been compromised because those places never tell anybody they were compromised some times years later like yahoo did. You want your address out there on rootsweb open servers? Go ahead.

I have been going down that track since the lists came back up !! But we should not have to do that, it should not be necessary to jump through hoops when it should be a facility to use As I said, I shall judge each held post on a case by case basis but subscribers need to take responsibility for their actions too Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18-Apr-18 3:28 PM, Dan M wrote: > Suggest as Anne has advised that you can copy the address in the held > post.

Sure, you can copy the address and paste it into your e-mail client and then type a message, which will have to be longer because it will have to explain why you're typing it. More time-consuming than being able just to add a line in the 'reject' notification, *and* the poor subscriber gets two messages, one saying his/her post has been rejected and another saying why, instead of just one message. That's untidy and cumbersome. I shall look forward to it being fixed eventually, if I'm spared that long.

People have the option of making their email addresses visible via member options. However, for spam and security reasons it will not be the default.

Why do that. Just reply to the notification message for the held message. You can delete all the headers except the one that shows the reject reason. i.e. the X-Mailman-Rule-Hits: header line.
