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

Hi, folks --
You asked for it -- here it is!
GenConnect boards can now be "gatewayed" to mailing lists. When a
board is gatewayed to a mailing list, every message posted to the
GenConnect board will be forwarded to the corresponding mailing list.
The message sent to the list will contain the URL of the specific post
to allow the list subscribers to respond directly to the message. In
this manner, gatewaying will enable more effective communication
between the mailing lists and the GC boards.
Here's how it works. In order to establish a gateway, two things need
to happen:
1. The mailing list administrator needs to add
`gc-gateway(a)rootsweb.com' to their accept list.
2. The GC Board administrator needs to activate the gateway, using
the Change Page at http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/signup/change.html.
If the GC Board administrator activates the gateway but
`gc-gateway(a)rootsweb.com' hasn't been added to your accept list, then
GC posts will try to send posts to your list, but they will be tagged
"{not a subscriber}" and bounced to you. This is important; GC admins
should *not* try to activate the gateway without first checking with
the corresponding mailing list admin.
Note: many "Cluster" mailing lists have gc-gateway(a)rootsweb.com added
to the accept list by default when the list is created. List admins
for these lists who do not wish to allow gatewaying should remove this
address from their accept list.
For International and Special Boards, the mailing list manager should
first tell the GenConnect staff which mailing list should be used for
the gateway. To do that, use the Gateway Request Form:
http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/cgi-bin/gateway_request.cgi
A Gateway FAQ Board has been set up for any other questions not
answered here:
http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/AdminCenter/gateway?admin
Enjoy, and keep doing good genealogy!
