I hope CGN and PEM listers can read this on the Dyfed list See below two notices currently shown on the Rootsweb Help Desk. Aol mail to CGN and PEM listers (on Rw's List 5) are bouncing and subscribers are probably unsubscribed by now. The problem lies with Aol, please take Rw's advice on this. ############ Mail Lists: 2003-10-24 The mailing list server (LISTS2) is still processing a small backlog of email for ISPs that have busy mail servers and unable to keep up with mail delivery, eg. Tiscali.com and related domains, bigpond.com and related domains. Subscribers from these domains are recommended to check their list subscriptions as there has been numbers bouncing off mailing lists. A small number of lists are still unavailable following server maintenance. CHECKING LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS Following resolution of e-email problems, subscribers are encouraged to double-check their subscriptions to mailing lists at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ in case they have bounced off a mailing list. ------------------------- Mail Lists: 2003-10-24 Domains bouncing e-mail from RootsWeb AOL.COM has taken exception to one of our mailing lists and is bouncing email from that server. While this happens occasionally and is usually resolved quickly there is no guarantee that is the case this time. Users of aol.com service should direct their queries to the AOL HelpDesk as the matter is solely within their control. Users should also check their list subscriptions as e-mail addresses have bounced off mailing lists. See link 'Checking list subscriptions'. Est. downtime: 2 day(s) ################## And this is what the Aol bounce advices says; <<< 554-(RLY:B1) The information presently available to AOL indicates this <<< 554-server is generating high volumes of member complaints from AOL's <<< 554-member base.
