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
I have just received the following message from Rootsweb.
Rootsweb servers will be down from (US) 8am PST; 11am EST; (UK) 4pm; (Aus)
3am AEDT
This will last for up to 24 hours, during which time you will receive NO
mail, you will not be able to post messages, change your subscription nor
unsubscribe. You don't need to do anything, as soon as the servers are up
and running again, mail will once again begin to arrive in your mailbox.

======================================================================
Starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned
temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It
will limit this downtime as much as possible, and will return with increased
performance and reliability for future growth.
In the meantime, please take time to visit RootsWeb.com's sister sites --
Ancestry.com and FamilyHistory.com -- where you will find additional tools
such as message boards, communities, and databases to help you in the search
for your ancestors.
