I see what you are seeing in the extended header. This, or something similar, is in the extended header for most lists, not just Rootsweb. That is *not* the list email address, the address to send emails to, or the address they are coming from. And that is *not* where the original person questioning it showed they were seeing it. That is in the extended header. The actual list address is in the Reply-To: and the To: lines in the normal header where the same message says, -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [ NB ] Bounce issues Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 08:43:25 -0500 From: Tim Kemp <tkemp@mindspring.com> Reply-To: newbrunswick@rootsweb.com To: newbrunswick@rootsweb.com What you are looking at in the extended header is the Return-Path address, not the list address. This is the address that email servers are instructed to send all bounced email back to. This is how they know what has bounced. Yes, that is in all messages, but the list member who was questioning it had a copy/paste showing it was in the *From::* lines in the emails she was getting. That is where I was saying it is not normal. If the system sees one bounce back with "bounce" already in the To; or Reply-To: lines then it knows it has had multiple bounces from that address. It is not in the normal header in any of the emails I receive from any of my over 100 Rootsweb lists and should not be in the normal header of anyones unless they have had a previous bounce. It is only in the Return-Path address of everyone's extended header or possibly in the To: or Reply-To: lines IF they have had a previous message to them from Rootsweb bounce back to the bounce address. A bounce does not mean you have a bad address by any means. Just a simple glitch in your ISP's server or any internet relay between you and Rootsweb, a stall on an internet connection causing a timeout, and a multitude of other temporary problems can cause a bounce when you have no actual problem with your email at all. Most email servers will retry every 4 hours for a period of 4 days before giving up and returning the email to the sender as unsendable. Due to their HUGE volume of email sent, Rootsweb tries only once, then marks it as a bounced email. This was causing many users to be deleted from Rootsweb when there was no problem with their email address and many users were getting irritated. I have heard that their new software has a way around this and I would guess that it marks bounced email addresses and waits to see if they continue bouncing. This could be the reason for the word bounce in others email addresses. Maybe you have one email bounce on first try, so they marked you for a predetermined amount of time to see if it continues. Again, this is only my guess. BTW, if you are only getting 20-25 lines then you are still not getting all of the information details available in a complete extended header. Looking at the header for the message you are replying to I see 47 lines, not counting 9 more lines from word-wrap. Tim Cleadie B wrote: >You probably have your "headers" on compact mode.

There are 2 ways to get this list LIST - each and every message DIGEST - a group A version in plain text, all the msgs in one email on your screen B version in MIME encoding, each post is an attachment Depending on the list, you MAY have to ask the list admin to put you on one or the other. New Brunswick defaults to the plain text version, so you have to ask me for the MIME version. newbrunswick-admin@rootsweb.com?SUBEJCT=MIME encoding version please Headers . . . bounce in the return address... Cleadie just covered briefly . . . it depends on your email software program how you see things... compact or expanded. Check your tools/preferences and how you can fine-tune your software. Outlook & Outlook express do not allow much tweaking, but Thunderbird, Eudora, Pegasus & Pine do. So you may want to consider changing the software you use to handle your emails. Ditch your Reply to All" button off your tool bar. Mailman, the new software being used by rootsweb to manage it's lists, only allows you to put 8 email addresses in a message, or it will reject your message. Creating a post to more than 1 mailing list, causes havoc for list admins. Let's say you write a message to 3 lists. Someone on list #2 decides to respond, but they are not a member of lists #1 & #3. They click Reply to All, and their post gets rejected by Lists #1 & List #3. Now list admins #1 & #3 have to go and deal with the rejected/bounced message.

I am sure it is connected with the new list software, but the explanation said it would now be on all of the messages, It is not. There has to be something different on the end of the users receiving it because for most of us it is not on ANY of the messages. I am terrible about not emptying my email trash, but in this case that is good, because I just went through over 3000 Rootsweb list emails from over 100 Rootsweb lists, including over 120 messages from this list. It is not on any of them at all. The only place I have ever seen it is in the message from Rose asking what it was. In fact it was not even in the header of her email. Only in the message she copied into her email. So the explanation that it is the new software fits, but it must mean something about the particular list member receiving it because it is not on any of the messages by default, only on message received by particular list members. This is my *guess*, and this is only a guess but it is based on seeing this system used on other types of mailing lists in the past. It is part of Rootsweb's new system to eliminate bad email addresses. If you have an email sent to you by Rootsweb bounce for any reason it puts you into a special group where your list messages are, for a predetermined amount of time, sent with the word bounce in the list address. If they have a list message bouce that has the word bounce in the list address, maybe once, maybe a set number of times, then they mark it as a bad address and delete it from the list.

Hi Mary Ellen: To subscribe to RootsWeb New Brunswick, send a message to NEWBRUNSWICK-request@rootsweb.com and ask to be added to the List. As for Whitney's, I have some on my family tree: Neville Parker Whitney, b. 20 Apr 1866 at Whitney, NB; married Jane Elizabeth Jones on 9 Jan 1889 at the Manse, Newcastle. Nevile died on 11 Feb 1953 in Whitney, NB. Janes Elizabeth Jones was born on 11 Jan 1872 in Strathadam, NB and died on 4 Jun 1951 in whitney, NB. Jane is a daughter of William "Billy" Jones and Mary Keating. Neville and Jane Elizabeth had one child, a daughter, named Gertrude May Whitney who was born on 12 Sep 1891 in Strathadam, NB and died on 8 May 1989 in Bangor, Maine. She married Jack William Davis Mann (b. 10 Apr 1890, Newfoundland; d. 5 Oct 1975, Bangor, ME) on 26 Jun 1911 (not sure where they married); they proceeded to have five children: Neville Whitney Davis Mann (b. 7 Mar 1913, North Esk, NB, d. 28 Nov 2000 in Farmington ME); Genevieve Mann; Florence Mann; Eleanor Mann; and Jack Mann - I have no details on the last four children but apparently they all died before 2000. I also have some information on their offpsring, as well. >From what I provided, Jane Elizabeth Jones is part of the mix; as well, your e-mail address has Jones in it so I take it that you are related to the Jones (or are a Jones). If this is so, then I have a question for you; have you researched John Jones and his wife Elizabeth and their first four children (Mary, John, Richard and William) who were born in Cornwall, England? If you have, would you get back to me privately, please. This has been a major 'blockade' for me and if you have any bit of information, I would appreciate if you would share it with me. I am a great-grand-daughter of their 8th child, Frederick John Jones. My e-mail is verdun1950@rogers.com.

Hi Jared and Listers, The new "mailman" software handles things differently than the old "smartlist" software used by Rootsweb to handle all their mailing lists. On New Brunswick, I have it is set to Reply to This List". Here's the explanation from the new software. Reply to List or Reply to Poster . . . . This option controls what happens when a user clicks “reply” to a mailing list email. Selecting “Poster” will direct any replies to list messages directly to email address of poster. Selecting “This list” will direct all replies to the mailing list email address. For instance, when you sent this message, your email program settings are such that when I clicked reply, it gets addressed to YOU and the LIST. It's not the Mailman software, it's your email program. This can go awry however. Let's say you send a message to 8 different mailing lists (the maximum allowed by Mailman, that you are a member of). If I, as a member of one list, click reply (depending on the settings of my email software) it will go to ALL 8 lists that your original message went to. If I'm NOT a member of the other 7 mailing lists, then 7 other List Admins are going to have to deal with a "bounced" or held message from a me... non-list member. This is one of the new annoying glitches in the Mailman software, unfortunately. Mailing list etiquette has always held that you should NOT include the original poster in your reply to the list. Private copies of postings to mailing lists will result in multiple copies arriving in the recipient's mailbox, rather than just one. A good rule of thumb is to remember to check the To: line and the SUBEJCT line (for digest subscribers) before hitting the SEND button. Some email programs allow you to go into your Account Settings/ Toolbar, or preferences and set how you want your replies to be handled. I use Thunderbird which allowed me to do this. I know that Eudora, Pegasus and Pine also have this option. I have removed the REPLY TO ALL button from my toolbar, so that I can choose what goes in the TO and CC boxes. Outlook and Outlook Express do not have this option and I can't remember what Netscape has for options. Hope this answers your question, Marilyn Jared Handspicker wrote: > Since we're covering the "bounce" issue, was wondering if you could > clarify another question...

Since we're covering the "bounce" issue, was wondering if you could clarify another question... I've noticed, depending on what list I'm on, when I reply I get various entries in the "To:" field. On some lists, I hit reply and ONLY the List address appears in the "To:" field. On other lists, only the address of the poster is shown, and on this one, apparently, both the list and the poster's address will appear in the field. So, is this some Admin option, when setting up the list? If so, I like the kind where both are listed, so I can opt to reply directly to the original poster, or the list. I've noticed, if you leave BOTH in there, the original poster gets two responses (one having gone directly to their inbox and the other to their inbox via the list.
