As many might know, Rootsweb works hard to filter out all the spam mail sent to the lists. Recently they employed a spam filter program called, Sorbs. Lately a number of my emails to various rootsweb lists have been bounced back to me and my mail server sent me the bounce rejection which stated my email address was not accepted by the Sorbs filter. I didn't know others were having the same problem. In my case, I just kept sending the email to the lists till it got through. Today I heard that the posts from the server 'nycap.rr.com' are being rejected by Sorbs. This a familiar server from the Albany/Troy area. So, if you sent any messages to any Rootswebs lists and you are on this server and your messages did not get posted, they probably stopped by the Sorbs filter. As the list admin, there is nothing I can do about the Sorbs filter blockage. However, you can, like I have, write to the Rootsweb Help Desk and let them know about the problem. Hopefully, they will be able to have Sorbs set their filter to let 'nycap.rr.com' mail through. When you go to the Rootsweb Help Desk, go down to where you see the tab, 'Ask a Question' and then fill in the blanks and then your concern. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
