There has been a problem with the AOL blocking listmail.



For future reference:

First, whenever you are not sure you are getting mail that you should
be, go to the RW Help page

http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/

And check the [yellow background] announcement at the top of the page;
if there have been maillist problems, it will be so stated there.

Second, if no problems at the announcement page , check the list archives:


http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/usa/WI/winnebago.html


Scroll down to the "Browse Archives" and then choose the most recent
month.

You will see the messages posted most recently (after a 1 or 2 day delay
for archive processing)



If you are not getting messages, and there are recent messages in the
archives, and no announced problems, try to confirm your subscription:

Go to RW Password Central
http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/

(also available as a link off the help page)

And fill in your email address, and click on "To which lists am I
subscribed?"

You will receive an email response within a very short time.

If you are recently subscribed, and not receiving any messages, check
your spam filters.
We often have new subscribers who operate with spam-filters turned
on; email from the list is rejected at the delivery site, and these
people will soon be automatically unsubscribed by the list processing
software, without ever having received a message.

.
If you are still subscribed, and not receiving any messages, write to
the List Administrator:


or in this case,WIWINNB -

and describe the problem.

If there are no problems and no recent messages in the archive - post a
query to the list;
sometimes people forget that they are subscribed to a given list, and a
new post gets everyone involved.

If there are problems announced at the Rootsweb Help page, please do not
send messages to the list asking about mail problems. Please do not try
to subscribe if you are already subscribed.


Thanks!
