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 Clariday researchers!
Just a note to let you know our CLARIDAY mailing list has changed over to Rootsweb's new Mailman mailing system. You should have received an e-mail about the new system a week or so ago. The change should help the lists run smoothly and cut down on the number of spam messages that try to access the lists. The old system never let the spam through to the list, but we List Administrators would get quite a bit of it as spammers tried to mess up your genealogical research!
There are a couple of changes that will affect you: The first is for those who receive both individual e-mails and digest mail. You can no longer receive both mailings to the same e-mail address. It was an unavoidable part of the change-over, and it affects me, too. So if you were receiving both mailings, you'll have to resubscribe to the Digest with another e-mail address if you wish to keep receiving it.
The second is that we will not be receiving messages from the CLARIDAY message board at Rootsweb for a time. The staff is working to correct this problem, but until it is running again, you might wish to check the CLARIDAY message board at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.clariday. If you a registered user, you might consider adding the message board to "My Notifications." This will let you know when a message has been posted and you can choose to read it or not. The message boards are also getting ready for a major update to make them easier to navigate and use.
If you should experience any problems with the CLARIDAY mailing list in the near future, please let me know at CLARIDAY-admin(a)rootsweb.com and I'll pass it along to the proper staff members. We don't anticipate any problems, but we ARE dealing with computers! <G>
Happy Hunting!
