Does anyone how to give up a mailing list. A few of the mailing lists I have are being hit by spammers and I just have the time to go in and delete all of them. I had 57 on one mailing list today. Enough is enough. I have work to do on my counties and this is taking away time for that. Wanda Qualls Matthew 5 - 7
Wanda, You can go here: http://resources.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/orphan and just enter the name of the list or lists you want to give up. Or if you tell us which lists you want to give up, maybe someone here would want them? If this is the spam that gets held for the admin to review, it does go away eventually if you just ignore it; I forget how long that takes, though.

The one getting hit hard by spammers are the name lists: Schupp, Jung and few others I have. My County lists usually just have one or two which I can handle. Thanks for letting me know.

You are not alone in your lists being hit hard. Like you, I am sick of being the "spam filter" for the email lists now. I don't know what Ancestry/Rootsweb did to their spam filter but it's not working! I use to get 1 or 2 every couple of days... now I am getting an average of 8-10 a day.
