Walt, first -- {not a subscriber} means a *bounce*, not a post. So these posts are not getting to your list unless you send them on. If there is a board associated with your list, and the gateway is on on the board side, all the board posts will be sent to your list. If you want the gateway to be OFF, it will be turned off -- the permission of the listowner is required for that. However, the settings may have changed during the changeover to the new boards. If you want the gateway ON, but want to be able to screen the messages, leave things the way they are now, and send suitable posts on to your list. We've asked that there be an explanation of the source of the message and a link to the boards on the gateway posts, but they have not yet complied. If you want ALL gateway posts to bounce to you, you'll have to add gc-gateway@rootsweb.com to your Reject file, because otherwise list subscribers who post to the boards will have their posts go through. You can check out what I'm saying by expanding the headers. Is there gc-gateway as the sender? People still have to subscribe to post -- that has not and WILL not change. If gc-gateway isn't in the headers, then you just have clueless people trying to post without being subscribed. Valorie PS: if there is a Philly-Roots board, and you want the gateway OFF, write to Boards-Localities@rootsweb.com and request the gateway be turned off. Be sure to tell Elaine that you are the listowner of Philly-Roots.
