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 am happy to announce a new list at Rootsweb.
The ORPHAN-TRAINS Discussion List is for the discussion of the ORPHAN TRAINS
that carried thousands of children to new homes in any and all states and
anything pertaining to them covering the time periods of 1850's to 1930.
Discussions pertaining to anything related to these children, circumstances,
finding their families, history of these trains, etc. are encouraged.
To join ORPHAN-TRAINS-L, send mail to
ORPHAN-TRAINS-L-request(a)rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the
message subject and body.
It is not necessary to subscribe in both modes.
To join ORPHAN-TRAINS-D, do the same thing with
ORPHAN-TRAINS-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
There is an ORPHAN-TRAINS List home page where you can review the list rules
and guidelines and find links to related sites.

This is being sent out to all of my lists to let you know about a problem
RootsWeb began experiencing in the last couple of days that is causing some
valid subscribers to not receive posts to lists he/she subscribes to. When
a post is not delivered to a subscriber, it is "bounced" to the List Admin
(that's me) for information. When a certain bounce threshold is reached
within a given period of time, that subscriber is dropped from the list as
no longer active.
Normally this is good, because it purges the lists of people who change ISPs
without notifying us, or are otherwise not receiving e-mail. In this
case,however, it is due to certain ISPs who have installed spam filters and
are listing RootsWeb on their reject list erroneously. In a few cases, some
RootsWeb mail is getting through, and some is not, but in all cases when a
subscriber reaches a given number of bounces, his subscription is terminated
automatically by the servers. If you have a personal spam filter installed
like "Spamcop" or others, or if your ISP has one installed to do it for
you,then you are a possible candidate to have your RootsWeb mail cut off
without notice.
For now, please just keep an eye on the volume of mail you get. If you have
a sudden drop in mail, try to subscribe to the list once again. If you are
still subscribed, you should (hopefully) receive a notice to that effect.
If you are not on the list any longer, your subscription attempt will be
accepted and you will be put back on the list. You may also write to me
privately if you would like me to check it for you, but please understand
that with having 10 lists that I manage I cannot possibly do everyone
manually so I would ask that you try it yourself first. I thank you in
advance for your cooperation in this regard.
I do not even know if this message will get to everyone, but hopefully it
will. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me off the
list. RootsWeb is working to resolve this problem with the people who
control the spam filters, and hopefully it will be resolved before too many
more people are dropped from the lists.
Thanks Everyone,
Derrell Oakley Teat, List Mom

Hello All,
I'm Derrell Oakley Teat.
I have applied to Rootsweb and been granted the privilege as the COATE
mailing list Administrator/Moderator.
I am open to any suggestions you may have to make the list more active, but
please remember we have to stay within the boundaries set by rootsweb.com.
Please send your suggestions to me personally at
margaret.teat2(a)verizon.net
NOT the list.
Hopefully we as a team can get the list more active. So please post your
COATE "brick wall" and hopefully someone has your sledge hammer :)
Thanks and happy hunting,
Derrell Oakley Teat, List Mom
