I have run into a problem I don't know how to fix. Everytime I try to administer my mailing list or post an email to the mailing list I keep getting this message with my emails bounced: Bug in Mailman version 2.1.7 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. Does anyone know what this is? If so please email me at [email protected] as I am subscribed in digest mode it may take a few days for me to get your answer and I need it as fast as possible.

If it does not stick then my guess is that your firewall is preventing traffic on TCP port 21, and you'll need to set your firewall to allow it through - both outgoing an incoming, and you may be able to limit that just to the rootsweb site, depending on your firewall software. 3. - If that all works out - again at the command prompt type in ftp www.rootsweb.com This should come back with: Connected to www.rootsweb.com - and prompt you for a username and then a password.

I did. You are correct - get message timed out. pat ____________ Pat Geary http://www.family-genealogy-online.com/ http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/ http://www.blog.family-genealogy-online.com/ ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2006 00:26:55 -0500 From: Lesley Shockey Subject: [ROOTSWEB-HELP] FTP - no connection to Rootsweb To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed The problem you are having with FTP - no connection to Rootsweb sounds very similar to the problem that I am having with two of my pages. However my WS_FTP does connect but I get a message in the lower display that says "retrieval of directory listing failed" each time I try connecting. The remote directory therefore remains blank. This is happening on my Jackson County WVGenWeb page and also my Shockey Family page. The same software is working fine with my WVGenWeb state page access so I believe that the problem is somewhere with the RootsWeb server.
