Hi all I have turned off my spam/junk checker as I was getting too many good emails going into it and I have had the same email since 1997 so I know that the problem isn't either one of those two. This is happening on almost every list that I am on and it didn't start until Rootsweb changed all their email groups.

I can appreciate just how frustrating this must be, and am not sure whether you are all suffering the same problem, or are having individual spam/junk mail filtering problems. Back in August Rootsweb sent an e.mail out to all their List Subscribers announcing changes to be made to the Mailing Lists....... amongst the changes they announced was the fact the list address was changing....in our case from Petrie-Scotland-L@rootsweb.com to the new address of Petrie-Scotland@rootsweb.com Our list changed over on the 7th September. ( I have pasted a copy of the original e.mail Rootsweb sent out to all listers in August, at the bottom of this e.mail) I suspect that some folks with spam/junk mail filters may find that this is causing a problem.if they have not added the new list address into their accepted addresses lists. The old list address still works though, so your filters are accepting mail sent by our listers to the old address, and others are being rejected when being sent by listers to the new address. I would suggest you ensure both the old and the new List addresses are accepted by your spam/junk mail filter software...... to avoid any further problems Do let me know if this fixes the problem.....and you can check to see if you have missed/lost any of the list e.mails at any time by checking in the List archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/PETRIE-SCOTLAND/ I also understand some folks maybe receiving more than one copy of the list e.mails into their in-box. This is often found to be the result of forwarding e.mails when you change your e.mail address, as you may have subscribed with your new e.mail address....but had not unsubscribed with your old e.mail address and your mail forwarding arrangement then also sends a copy onto you. Please e.mail me with details of your old e.mail address/es and I will unsubscribe them for you from the List admin page. I do hope my suggestions will solve these current problems.... but if a problem persists, please contact me direct at norma.thain@balgavies.demon.co.uk and I will try to assist. bibi norma ----- Original Message ----- From: <announce@mail.rootsweb.com> To: <LIST-ANNOUNCE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 12, 2006 12:44 AM Subject: RootsWeb Mailing Lists are being Updated > > Dear RootsWeb mailing list subscriber, > > We are excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the RootsWeb.com > mailing lists will be moving to a new list management system. > > 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.
