CARBAJAL Listmembers.....
You may have noticed on other Lists that Rootsweb has changed the way
the SENDER of a Post is shown. The goal is to keep the Lists safer from
hacking, spam receipt and other invasion related problems Lists have had
in past months. The changes seem to pretty much be done, however its
likely to be an ongoing process with new defenses coming and going.
All your current and future Posts will be sent as you have always done
with the eMail addresses you've always used. Receiving Posts has not
changed. Just watch carefully when you construct a REPLY to make sure
it goes to the right place.....the actual SENDER or the LIST.
Since many of us have differing eMail software, the way the message
headings are shown can be radically different from patron to patron.
For now, the SENDER is still visible but not exactly as before.
Rootsweb now shows several headings including Sender, Receiver and List
Name but may show more items like Reply To and CC [carbon copy, means
'also sent to']. When you hit REPLY to send an answer to any Post you
may have read, just watch to see what ADDRESS it is going to. It may be
the actual SENDER who personally is getting your reply, or it may be the
LIST itself that is getting your reply.
BEFORE the changes, the SENDER was a PERSON...someone who Posted a
message to a Rootsweb Mailing List. NOW, the SENDER is considered to be
the LIST you are subscribed to. the robot computer that does all the
sorting and sending to the various Lists and Message Boards is sending
your post, it makes a big difference in how to keep toxic bits out of
the Lists and out of Rootsweb in general.
For the 16 Lists I Admin, a REPLY is set up to go to the entire LIST.
It will stay that way........just watch to be sure a personal message
isn't going to the whole List

You do NOT need to be subscribed to READ posts in any List, just to POST.
Excuse the CAPS, they are to focus on the changes.
