RootsWeb Mailing Lists Updated

An announcement has come out from RootsWeb to all mailing list subscribers announcing improvements to their list management system.

RootsWeb.com mailing lists will be moving to a new list management system.

Why?
The new list management system offers updated technology, better spam control, and more efficient hosting of the lists.

When?
All the lists won’t be updated all at once. In fact, once we start it will take us about two weeks to complete the process. We’ve posted the additional details about the update and a current update schedule here

…We’re excited about the improvements to the lists because we feel confident that they will ensure that the mailing lists continue to run smoothly for years to come. We appreciate your patience while we make this transition and hope that the RootsWeb mailing lists will continue to be a valuable tool in your genealogy research.

According to the announcement, you may see some physical changes to the email you receive, be it whole emails or list digests. The “-L” is also being removed from the mailing lists and mailing list emails. You may need to add these new email addresses to your spam filters to allow them to pass through unblocked, as well as change these to the new email addresses in your address books, though the old email address will still work.
