Hi All,
Unwanted emails (SPAM) are an increasing problem, and various people are
turning to anti-spam software to block unsolicted email. (MYmailSAFE,
SpamArrest, Mailwasher etc)
Unfortunately, these programs can cause having with mailing lists,
especially if they are not correctly set up. Messages have been bounced
back to Rootsweb, and the list admin has been unable to get past the spam
software to tell affected subscribers that their Rootsweb mail is being
bounced.
I don't know a solution - I understand that MYmailSAFE can be set up to
correctly accept Rootweb mail, and I successfully use Mailwasher to preview
mail (but even that has bounced mail arriving from Yahoo lists).
The bouncing mail also causes big problems for the list admins, since
Rootsweb forwards it on to them.
So if you do feel the need to use anti-spam software, please check
carefully that you can set it up to accept mailling lists, and be prepared
to stop using it if your incoming mail dries up!
Thanks,
Malcolm
