Pacific Standard Time, ROOTS-L-request@rootsweb.com writes: PeoplePC spaminator I get this too from people in my neighborhood watch list. It is some kind of program the person has on their computer that blocks all unknown mail rather than putting your email into a spam folder, - or perhaps that's where it goes unless you go into the program using the link provided so that they will do what they have to do to read your email. I don't know why people do that who are genealogy buffs, particular if they post something to the list, but they do. All you can do, in that case, if they don't accept your email address for personal delivery of your message, is to post your response to the list and do your corresponding that way. While everything you write then becomes "public", at least that way they will get your response because they have signed up on the list and gets the digest mode at a minimum. They would have to change their spam controls, I would think, if they chose to get everyone's mail to the list as individual messages, which means everybody's email to the list would be blocked by this spam control. It is annoying, but I suppose if we want to communicate directly with that individual, we have to jump through their hoops, or just respond to the list every time for anybody and avoid these spam controls!
