Dear Listers,
Many of you with AOL accounts were inadvertently unsubscribed from the Powys
List on 17 November because your service provider (AOL) rejected incoming
e-mails from the Powys List.
Such rejected e-mails are returned to the RootsWeb, and are known as
'bounces'. Whenever the RootsWeb mail server receives four bounces from a
member, that member's e-mail address is automatically unsubscribed from the
list.
As a result, 15 members were unsubscribed on 17 November.
I have now resubscribed all 15 of these members.
I urge the members concerned to complain to AOL about this incident, which
also happened on a number of other RootsWeb mailing lists. The same problem
has occurred in the past, when AOL has chosen to 'blacklist' incoming
e-mails from RootsWeb mailing lists.
Kind regards,
John
