RootsWeb is seeing a lot of infected email 'doing the rounds', and especially cases of the worm W32/[email protected] [McAfee] aka WORM_MIMAIL.R [Trend] aka [email protected] [Symantec]. As a reminder, RootsWeb's mailing lists do NOT and CANNOT transmit infected e-mail as they forward text e-mail only and no binary attachments, though it is possible for the email addresses of mailing lists to be faked. Please check your anti-virus software. For more info go to: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html or http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?cid=9451 In addition today, RootsWeb has undergone significant modifications to its domain name lookup and IP addresses, and from their perspective this looks to have happened without incident. However, there may be consequences external to RootsWeb's network. IP addresses are the underlying methodology that computers use to identify and talk to each other on the internet. While most ISPs will only store (cache) RootsWeb's IP addresses for short periods, some ISPs may retain RootsWeb old details for an extended period. With regard to e-mail, it is also possible that e-mail to and from RootsWeb may be delayed until the changes have spread (propagated) through the internet. Also, where RootsWeb has had some mailing list servers placed on a whitelist with ISPs, these arrangements may need to be renewed, with the consequence being that Rootsweb may not be able to deliver e-mail to all ISPs at this time. AOL has been bouncing all mail from the lists (now why am I NOT surprised?) and there may be more affected ISP's as the day progresses. Thanks for your attention! Pat Mount List Admin
