Below are a few rules and some helpful information
After you send a subscription request
using the instructions provided below, you will receive a message confirming
that, "You have been added to the subscriber list of: [email protected]"
-
If you would like to post a message so everyone on the mailing
list receives it, just send it to [email protected]
-
There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow
the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop,
and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again.
-
The bounce limit for this list has been set at three (3)
bounces.
This means you will automatically be removed from the
mailing list if there is an extended problem with you mail service. You
will receive a notice informing you that you have been unsubscribed. Please
ensure that your mail service is working properly before subscribing again.
A Few Rules and Helpful Hints
-
Please keep this information or bookmark the page.
-
Read this information. Yes, it's a little long, but you don't
have to memorize it (that's why you're saving it).
-
DON'T send attachments to the list. (Signatures are
okay.) The message will be returned to you. This isn't a problem for the
mail server, but can cause some subscribers' machines to lock up, make
them lose all their mail, even crash their hard drive!
-
If you have a large file, try splitting it into smaller sections
and sending 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc. OR, send a message to the list offering
to send the information privately.
-
If you are switching Internet Service Providers (ISP), or
changing your e-mail address, *PLEASE* unsubscribe from the old address
first and then re-subscribe at your new address.
-
Remember if you need help contact me, but be specific. My
address
-
The most important key on your keyboard is the DELETE key.
If you don't like a message, delete it. Don't send a cutting or snide remark
back to the list. The rest of us don't want to read it, and it just adds
to the clutter of useless messages.
-
DO NOT FLAME PEOPLE (SEND ARGUMENTATIVE OR CRITICAL MESSAGES)
ON THE LIST. IF YOU ARE FLAMED, DO NOT RESPOND VIA THE LIST! (P.S. - Don't
type in all caps, it looks like you are shouting.)
-
If you feel someone is causing a serious problem (use of
profanity, for instance), send me a message, not the list. But remember,
I'm subscribed to this list, too.
-
Please stay on topic and close to the subject. (Keep in mind
that history is an important part of genealogy. Current topics usually
are not.)
-
If you have a personal message for someone, please send it
to their address, not the list server address. Any mail sent to RINEWPOR-L
will automatically be sent to everyone on the list.
Some common problems
You tried to unsubscribe and RootsWeb
says you're not a subscriber, yet you're getting mail.
Send yourself a message and see how your address appears
in the header of the message. **Usually** (if you're getting this error)
they won't be the same. ISP (Internet service providers) are notorious
for changing your address, adding "mail" or "pop" or some other term to
it - or taking it away. If that is the case, all you can do is notify me
to help you.
You get a "bad command" error.
Check your spelling. I see "unscribe", "un-scibe" and
about every other variation imaginable. You have to spell stuff right!
Follow instructions - to the letter. If you leave something
out of a command or put something extra in, it probably won't work.
Still having a problem, then send
me a message, but be specific. I can't help if you just say, "I'm having
a problem, help me." Tell me what it is. Tell me what you did or tried
to do. If you received some kind of error message, send it to me (forward
the whole message).
