Mary Ann- NEVER NEVER NEVER report ANYTHING that comes to you as admin or via a list or list request address as spam to your ISP. You won't be removed from the list unless you are reporting list messages as spam as Kathie stated...but you DO run the risk of getting RootsWeb blocked as the spammer by these ISP. The ONLY place to report any spam that spoofs RootsWeb is TO RootsWeb. Joan In a message dated 7/21/2012 2:38:00 P.M.

The message said the mailing list would be deactivated if I did not follow through. Upon investigation, I determined they came from an AOL address. I reported each of these as SPAM to abuse@aol.net with a cc to spam@uce.gov because they were attempts at phishing. Mary Ann Lubinsky
