Hi everyone,
I'm forwarding this along in case anyone did *not* receive the official email
announcement. An official general announcement email was sent out to all
subcribers on Friday. If you didn't receive one, please don't worry. Many ISPs
suffered from a delayed delivery schedule of this announcement, including AOL.
Rootsweb will be moving the mailing lists onto a new mail management system,
Mailman. Lists will begin migrating on Thursday, in alphabetical order. The
CALLAGHAN surname list is scheduled to migrate on tomorrow, Thursday, August
17.
I will follow this email with more specialized info to help ease the
transition for you.
Take care,
Tracy
CALLAGHAN list admin

Dear RootsWeb mailing list subscriber,
We are excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the
RootsWeb.com
mailing lists will be moving to a new list management system.
Why?
The new list management system offers updated technology, better spam
control, and more efficient hosting of the lists.
When?
All the lists won't be updated all at once. In fact, once we start it
will take us about two weeks to complete the process. We've posted the
additional details about the update and a current update schedule at the
link below.
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html
This page can also be found by following the link found on
http://lists.rootsweb.com. If there are any changes to the schedule,
we'll update this page to let you know.
How will it Affect You?
Your current subscription(s) will automatically transfer to the new
system so there will be no need to re-subscribe to your list(s),
however, because the sending and receiving of list email will be handled
by a new system, you may notice a few changes to your list(s).
The tools that list administrators use to manage their list will also be
changing.
We're excited about the improvements to the lists because we feel
confident that they will ensure that the mailing lists continue to run
smoothly for years to come. We appreciate your patience while we make
this transition and hope that the RootsWeb mailing lists will continue
to be a valuable tool in your genealogy research.
Thanks,
The Rootsweb Staff
