Hi Randi Have you registered with Rootsweb since the 6th March 2018 ? If not then you have lost those lists If the lists are still without an admin, email Anne who may be able to help you But you will have to register with Rootsweb if you want to admin lists Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/11/2018 19:46, Randi Richardson wrote: > Last year I lost all my email and addresses.

Here is a link to one of my lists: https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/new-england-irish.rootsweb.com/members/owner/ the list is New England Irish. Put the name of your list in it's place, do not use capitals and put a dash (-) between each word in the name of your list. Good luck.

Last year I lost all my email and addresses. I need help accessing the Rootsweb lists I administered before Rootsweb went down.. Although I remember my password, I don't know where to find the URL. Help!!! Randi

I only have a few surname lists which are very quiet (read "dead"), so that's easy. Have added a note to my county and topics lists, where appropriate. Am also adding unsub instructions, since the default message points subscribers to Mailman and seems to confuse everyone.

We COULD do it on an individual basis but I think for every list that lost its gateway that I admin would takes me weeks.

Me too...but unfortunately we haven't been given that option and I think this might be a second best option.

Anne, I really liked the gateways, too, but we've been told more than once that they're never coming back. So implementing Joan's suggestion would provide a helpful reminder that we don't now have.

That kind of depends on your list settings. If you have your non-subscriber mail set to "discard" they will automatically be discarded and you will never see the gatewayed posts. If you have your non-subscriber mail set to "hold" then you will need to manually discard them. My hope is that eventually they will sort this out to include a footer on list mail with a link to the allied message board so that list members will see the link with each new post and remember that in addtion to having a list as a resource they also have a board.

Actually, Marge is not right. As has been discussed on this list several times over the last several months, the Ban list prevents someone from subscribing to the list. It does NOT prevent anyone (including the MB Gateway) from sending posts TO the list address. Anyone can send an email to whom or whatever. Until Anne's staff is able to find the bug in the script that is still activating gatewayed messages from the Boards, they will still be received by Mailman and appear in Held Messages for your list. BTW, I haven't received gatewayed message board posts on my lists for some years. Have you checked your subscriber list? Does the Gateway address still appear there? I forget now what it was/is, but you can check the sender address in the headers of the messages your list is receiving and unsubscribe it if it still appears as subscribed. I don't know if that would have an effect, but it wouldn't hurt. Pat Asher At 01:56 PM 11/21/2018, David E.

Nivard, I never stated the gatewayed messages were "a big issue" as you stated, but it is an issue nonetheless. Especially when Tech Support says they will "look into it" and are working on it.
