Hi, I am a subscriber to the MABERKSHI-L list and it is gatewayed to http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.massachusetts.count ies.berkshire/5900.1.1.2.1.1/mb.ashx (this is an actual link o the board. Can one opt out of the gateway items or is it an all or nothing decision of the List Owner? This particular Board is having an insane number of entries which are seemingly endless. "Need to Know" Brad Miter

If you are the admin of the list, you can make choices that have a lot of effect on what gets through, but the only way to have some board messages hit the list and not others is to have the gateway open, put the gateway address on ban, and then slog through the pending messages. From a *user's* standpoint, the easiest thing is to set up a filter to send everything that has the gateway text in it to either a separate folder or just straight to Trash. Darrell

Subscribers can not close gateways. Gateways are at the discretion of the list and/or board admins. When you see gcgateway@rootsweb.com in your email queue delete it unread. What may seem insane and endless to you may be of interest to others.
