Dear Cuz David, Not a problem at all, I am responding to your e-mail to see if "today" is the day my e-mails will go through. This is a test to see if we are clear yet.

Dear Cuz's, WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!! The first time since 11/9 at 3:00 pm that my e-mails have gone through!!!! On 11/9 I tried to send a message to Diana via the group and my e-mail bounced. When I went to explore the reasoning, I found 2 things; 1. Rootsweb.com was going to do maintenance that evening. 2. My e-mail came back with a Mail delivery failure notification. Cuz David and I spoke that evening about this. I have tried daily to post e-mails. I have contacted Rootsweb, via their two options. Their response was that it wasn't their side that had a problem. I contacted Sorbs.net, signed up and reported the ip address our e-mail list is on and being blocked, asking them to remove the block, reminding them that Rootsweb was not a spamming thing it was a genealogy thing. I contacted my own RoadRunner e-mail company, and was told that it was not their sending but the blocking between RR and RWeb. The end result is this: I believe that when Rootsweb went to do their maintenance then inadvertently set off the "spam" gods i.e. sorbs.net, which in turn caused the blocking of our e-mails from being delivered to Rootsweb and then in turn to us. Today this seems to be fixed... hopefully this e-mail will go through!!

Dear Cuz Becky: Maybe "the Troops" were bored and stirred up a little trouble. :-) They haven't been causing much hate and discontent here of late.

Becky, It is kind of hard to explain, but don't be surprised if something once fixed goes down again, at least briefly because we are talking about a whole interconnected network here and they often have to disconnect one thing to connect another, then reconnect it again. . .that sort of thing. They are working on it, but right now it is just going to take some time before they are back where they should be. David E.
