Requirements from old website.

How to use FreeBMD Mailing Lists
For those people who have not used a Mailing List before, it is important to realise that after subscribing to one of the Mailing Lists you will receive a copy of every mail to that List. You can reply to a mail by clicking on the Reply button in your email client. Your reply will be received by every subscriber to the List, including yourself. If you are subscribed to a List and post a query to the List, it will be received by every subscriber to that List, including yourself.

If you do not want to receive mails from any List you have subscribed to, either visit this page or look at the bottom of any List mail to find out how to unsubscribe. Note that the address for unsubscribing is not the normal List address and so you should not use the Reply facility to unsubscribe.

(FreeBMD mailing lists will, from January 2020, be provided by Groups.io. Previously FreeBMD mailing lists had been provided by Rootsweb but they have announced that they will no longer support mailing lists, though archives of emails to closed lists will be maintained. Members of the previous (Rootsweb) FreeBMD mailing lists will all receive invitations to join the corresponding new groups)

How to Manage Subscriptions
subscribe/unsubscribe:
In the section below for the mailing list concerned click on the subscribe or unsubcribe link.
change email address:
Please unsubscribe using your old address and subscribe using your new address. If you do not have access to your old address, then ignore the unsubscribe; it will happen automatically as described below
Do not add any other text to the (un)subscription request as this will defeat the automated nature of the process and then have to be performed manually by the list maintainer at a later time.

Following your subscription request, you will receive a confirmation of your subscription from the respective mailing list administration address.
Note:If you subscribe to any of the mailing lists, you must not send messages about viruses. Such messages are actually spreading the virus and by sending the message other people may have their systems damaged. If you receive such a message, check with a virus library such as http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.asp or http://www.pandasoftware.com/library/ or http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/ before taking any action.

Automatic Subscription Cancellation
In common with other mailing lists, there is an automatic procedure whereby emails that cannot be delivered for a period of time to particular addresses automatically have their subscription cancelled. This is done to avoid sending out mail to obsolete addresses. The period of time is adjusted from time to time but is of the order of a week. If such a cancellation happens to you, and your mail address is not obsolete, the usual causes are server problems at your ISP or an over-full mailbox. To recover from such an automatic cancellation just subscribe again.
Moderation
The first message sent by any list member will be moderated. This means that it will not be forwarded to all list members until it has been reviewed by one or more group moderators. This may take several hours. Moderation is to ensure that inappropriate messages, spam and misdirected attempts to subscribe or unsubscribe are not sent to all list members.
Mailing Lists Modes
The FreeBMD mailing lists have a number of different modes but the three we recommend using are:
Individual Messages:
Each message is sent separately to the subscribers.
Message Digests:
A number of messages are batched together and then sent to the subscribers.
Special Notices Only:
Subscribers will only receive special notices from group moderators.
All new subscriptions will default to Individual Messages. It is recommended that subscribers choose either Individual Messages or Special Notices Only.
FreeBMD Mailing Lists (subscription addresses)
FreeBMD Main Group (formerly FreeBMD-News)
This list is for people interested in how the FreeBMD project is progressing. Postings will announce major decisions, track progress and calls for volunteers. Traffic is expected to be light, maybe a message every couple of months, maybe less.
Anyone who joins any of the FreeBMD Advice, FreeBMD Discuss or FreeBMD Syndicates groups will automatically also be subscribed to the FreeBMD Main Group.

To subscribe :

Email [email protected]
To unsubscribe:
Email [email protected]
If you are subscribed to the other FreeBMD lists you do NOT need to subscribe separately to this list.

Note - You cannot send messages to this list - instead see FreeBMD Advice and FreeBMD Discuss.
