FYI
In case anyone suffers a loss of listmail, it'll only be temporary while
Rootsweb changes servers, see message below, sent to the Listowners lists.

Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin the complex and
time-consuming process of upgrading our servers to new hardware.
o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be
unavailable during this time unavailable and we are asking for your
patience.
For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can
visit
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses.
o List Administrators: When the time comes to move list servers,
we will be halting operation on the machine to complete the move.
We expect to have the machines down the least amount of time
possible. No mail will be sent from or posted to your mailing
lists. We do not expect to lose any messages.
o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your board happens to be
gatewayed to a mailing list then the information for list
administrators apply.
o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to
pages until everything is working correctly on the new servers.
There will be a short time that the pages will not be available as
the transfer takes place.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a
few "growing pains."
