Because my list have been closed to un-subscribers you can post
messages only from the address you used to subscribe. If you
will be using another address to post send me a private message
at vewing(a)ktc.com.
I will add that address to my 'allow to post' list. The
objective in closing the list was not to keep people from posting
but rather to keep advertising companies from sending their
material.
As I understand it, correct me if I am wrong, if your address
changes you can not unsubscribe yourself from the old address
using the new address as RootsWeb will not recognized the
computer sending the message as a valid address.
I am not sure I am making this clear, but if you intend to
change addresses unsubscribe from your old address while you
still have that address , then re-subscribe when you get your new
address.
What has happened also is, if you have two addresses and the one
'speaking' to RootsWeb is not the one you used to subscribed, you
can not get your self off the list, you can not post. I need
both addresses to correct the problem.
As most of you know, a message sent to the list is distributed to
everyone on the list. When the message can not get through to
one of the subscribers I get a notice that it can not be
delivered. The notice includes the address and the reason it can
not go through. This is the message I usually get: ----- The
following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----and that may
mean the address it incorrect or discontinued or the server is
down at that time and the address will work ten minutes later but
that message is not going to get through. This is called a
bounce.
I am getting a lot of bounces on all of my list. . My own server
has bounced me and sent me the bounced notices that my address
was incorrect and they could not send me the messages. Hope you
see the humor in that. The bounces came to the same address the
messages could not reach.
If a message is bounced 4 times Smartlist will unsubscribe that
address to protect the RootsWeb system. You may not get the
unsubscribe message as it may bounce too.
If you think you might have been bounced from a list send me a
message or send a posting to the list. If you see your posting
you are still with us.
When a server is not accepting mail from RootsWeb I receive
bounces on everyone subscribed to that server. Lately I have
been getting bounces for everyone on AOL. I have checked and the
AOL subscribes are still with us and hopefully they have fixed
the problem and this message will get through.
