Dear Listers,
I've received the following good news about the AOL problem. Listers who are
AOL account holders can expect to see the backlog of blocked messages begin
to arrive in their mailboxes.
Kind regards,
John

Subject: [LOEW] [info] AOL looks to have opened its doors to RootsWeb mail
In the last few hours, it seems that AOL has whitelist'd RootsWeb's
mailing list servers and mail is flowing through again.
As we have about 100 000 messages spooled to deliver and I do not
wish to overwhelm mailboxes at AOL, I have started a drip feed
delivery to AOL/Netscape/CS/WMConnect. This delivery will look to
deliver the mail over the next 90-100 hours.
I will review the delivery in about 24 hours to see how things are
progressing.
Regards, Andrew
