rootsweb is doing an upgrade of the mail servers that support these email groups. Below is an excerpt of the message I received. ========================================================= A: An alphabetical listing of all mailing lists that will be impacted by the upgrade can be found at: <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lindv/move3> Q: When will the upgrade take place? A: The upgrade will commence Friday, 8 December 2000 at 7:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time (GMT -08:00) Q: How will the upgrade impact my ability to maintain mailing list(s)? A: Starting at 7:00 A.M. (PST), lists3.rootsweb.com will be unavailable. We expect the entire upgrade to take 10 hours. Lists3 will not process mail for most of that time. Q: Will people still be able to post to mailing lists during the upgrade? A: Yes and No. - No messages will be lost, though will be delayed. - Messages will not be posted to mailing lists until *after* the upgrade/move is fully completed. ......... ==================================== Tom Cloud <[email protected]>
