That is essentially what I was saying. The other ISP's made the changes
ahead of time so there would not be a problem. AOL didn't. As a result when the
"mass mailings" from Rootsweb started coming out - AOL didn't recognize the new
address, thought it was just another spamer, and blocked everything from
that address.

Dear Bill,
Whilst I accept what you say about RootsWeb changing
address, it is interesting to note that it was only AOL who were rejecting
RootsWeb mail. I'm not aware that any other ISP'S did, and as a List
administrator for a number of RootsWeb mailing lists I get to see the
bounces - all from AOL.

I'm not meaning to be contentious, just stating the facts.

Best wishes

Martin
