For about a week or so AOL has blacklisted some of the mail from Rootsweb. Rootsweb is corresponding with AOL to get the mail whitelisted. However, after three bounces (not delivered mail), the email address will automatically be unsubscribed from the list. If you are on AOL and still getting mail, contact AOL and complain. They may try to blame Rootsweb, but it is not Rootsweb's fault. Now Rootsweb's mail is being bounce by ISPs (servers) that use SpamCop software. Again, three bounces and you will be automatically unsubscribed. The problem with SpamCop occurs every now and then and the cause is because someone does not want mail from a particular list that they subbed to but don't 'officially' unsubscribe, so they complain to their server that it is spam mail. The server then reports it to SpamCop, if they use that program, and bingo, all Rootsweb mail gets refused by SpamCop. This then effects all the servers that use the program to filter spam. So, first, if you have not been getting Rootsweb mail, check the lists' archives and see if mail has been posted to the list that you are not receiving. You can check the archives by going to the the Rootsweb lists index at: http://lists.rootsweb.com Find the list, go to the bottom of the list's webpage and find the link for "browse archives". Choose year and month and see if there is mail posted that you are not receiving. If so, contact your server and find out if they use SpamCop. If they do, request that they let Rootsweb mail through their filters. Also, never complain to your server about Rootsweb mail that you want stopped. Use the above link, find the list and then find the unsubscribe link for that list. If you have problems, write me off list and I can manually unsub you. If you have questions, feel free to write me and I'll do my best to help you. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
