It may be a number of things:
1. Recent widespread virus attacks have scared people away. I have
received 14 virus e-mails in 10 days.
2. Power outages on the west coast have shut doun some major
internet servers.
3. A hacker attack and denial of service attacks on the East coast, mainly
around New Jersey have caused some major outages.
4. Recent hacker attacks on Microsoft and
MSN.com have caused some
major outages.
My guess is that it's a combination of all of the above.

Same with me. I have earthlink, but didn't think to tie it to
them, maybe I
should email them. I've had a significant reduction in mail esp. from
lists.

Subject: Re: Rootsweb Maillists
Is anyone having the same problem that I am. I have been receiving about 20
% of my usual mail. I am on over 90 mail lists, and seem to be getting about
15-20 of them. I have checked with my ISP and they are showing no problem...
Rootsweb is denying a problem..Where is all of the mail going... I normally
get 10 or so a day from NJHUNTER, KENTUCKIANA, BUSHEY, to name a few... I am
getting NONE... If anyone else is having a problem, please answer me
privately, as I am not getting the Rootsweb mail, and if you will, please
name your ISP. I am trying to find out what the problem is.
Thanks.
