Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb

Hiya everyone,
Due to the recent problems with AOL, I am forwarding this introduction to
the list in case anyone on AOL would like to join and become a part of the
discussion.

>
>1) send mail to RootsWeb lists from AOL and have it come through in plain
>text (not be rejected),
>2) process RootsWeb list mail on the receiving end at AOL so that it is not
>considered spam by AOL leading to blocks placed on the RootsWeb list servers
>causing non-receipt of list mail,
>3) identify list admin spam mail in AOL inboxes or spam folders and to learn
>how to deal with it in a manner that doesn't result in AOL thinking RootsWeb
>is responsible for the spam (for AOL subscriber RootsWeb list admins),
>4) answer the questions and address the problems encountered by list members
>who use AOL for RootsWeb list mail (primarily for NON-AOL subscriber RootsWeb
>list admins).
