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

Word of Warning on the Query boards.
IF you have ever posted on any query board with Rootsweb and IF you have
ever
purchased from Ancestry.com, your full name, not your email address or the
name you choose to use on the web, is now attached to every post you ever
made.
This is a problem if you prefer to have a low profile on the web. There are
many women and seniors out there who prefer to keep their last names
confidential.
You can fix this problem by going to the profile section of any query board
and changing the information yourself. However, not everyone knows that
this
option is out there and in some cases people never return to look at the
board. In that case they will never know that their full names (as used on
your credit card) are out there attached to all that family information.
I've written to Rootsweb/Ancestry asking them to change this function by
using the persons email address but they've simply ignored me.
So if you aren't happy with having your full name attached to your queries,
make sure you go to the "new profile function" and change it.
