    3. A-B Lists change over to the new System MONDAY 14 Aug. and continues through the end of the month for the other letters. Below is part of a Rootsweb staff announcement to list managers. IN a nutshell..... IF you are using SPAM filters you may have to adjust them to receive mail list notices. I am guessing, but some ISP's may bounce some mail as well... ONE point for mail list members..... IF you are subscribed to both the LIST and DIGEST modes with the same email address, only ONE copy will be sent. [NOT sure which one.??] Read on for more...... Joe List Admin Why? The new list management system offers updated technology, better spam control, and more efficient hosting of the lists. When? All the lists won't be updated all at once. In fact, once we [RootsWeb] start, it will take us about two weeks to complete the process. We've posted the additional details about the update and a current update schedule at the link below. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html This page can also be found by following the link found on http://lists.rootsweb.com. If there are any changes to the schedule, we'll update this page to let you know. How will it Affect You? Your current subscription(s) will automatically transfer to the new system so there will be no need to re-subscribe to your list(s), HOWEVER, because the sending and receiving of list email will be handled by a new system, you may notice a few changes to your list(s). Digest subscribers will notice a small difference in the layout, volume and issue numbers of the list digests. The "-L" is being dropped from the "official" list name. This means the "from" address your mailing list emails come from will be slightly different- [email protected] vs. the current [email protected] You may have to adjust your spam filters or put the new address on your "accept" list to prevent it from being caught in your "junk" folder.
