Anne, second tier tech support at att.net swore to me that they were not blocking rootsweb.com, but they obviously are. I have kept a couple of subscriptions using an att.net address not linked to my mailman account so I can verify when or if they start accepting rootsweb.com mail again.

I thought Yahoo mail was now integrated with AOL Webmail? If so, I'm not having any issues with AOL mail.

Joan, I only know what I have been dealing with for almost 2 months now. I have talked to various levels of tech support at att.net 3 or 4 times now. They all swear they are not blocking mail from rootsweb.com, but it doesn't arrive anywhere, and I check my spam folder regularly. They just stopped delivering it after the level got to to 30 to 50 posts a day. That was a temporary traffic level due to all the questions about gaining access to web sites, but at some level, the ISP just stopped accepting it at all, and not only putting it in my spam folder to mark as NOT spam. And David Cann's ISP is earthlink.net, and now he is apparently starting to have problems -- I have an alternate ISP I can use for email. For those users who have only one ISP, they are going to be in limbo, unable to receive list mail and unable to do anything about it and the folks in charge of the rootsweb.com domain are going to have to figure out who or what they need to do to keep the mail lists operating.
