Dear Listers, Many of you with AOL accounts were inadvertently unsubscribed from the Powys List on 17 November because your service provider (AOL) rejected incoming e-mails from the Powys List. Such rejected e-mails are returned to the RootsWeb, and are known as 'bounces'. Whenever the RootsWeb mail server receives four bounces from a member, that member's e-mail address is automatically unsubscribed from the list. As a result, 15 members were unsubscribed on 17 November. I have now resubscribed all 15 of these members. I urge the members concerned to complain to AOL about this incident, which also happened on a number of other RootsWeb mailing lists. The same problem has occurred in the past, when AOL has chosen to 'blacklist' incoming e-mails from RootsWeb mailing lists.
