    I just ran another test, and it seems that the genealogical mailing
    lists hosted by Rootsweb (Ancestry.com) are still broken

    Those hosted by others, such as Yahoogroups, are still working.

    The other day I found that it was possible on a couple of forum to post
    to old messages, but not post new messages. So may be they are working
    on bringing the system back.

    I am afraid that the longer the Rootsweb system is down the more likely
    that it is gone for ever.

    At least some of them are now working again.

    Update: March 6, 2018

    We have some good news on our progress to bring RootsWeb back online. As
    of today, the RootsWeb mailing lists are now available to use, meaning
    you can now send and receive email on RootsWeb email lists just like you
    used to in the past. In addition to making the site more secure, we’ve upgraded our backend system to provide an easier-to-use interface to
    manage your email list subscriptions.

    To get started managing your subscriptions, go to Setting Up My New
    Mailman Login and if you are an administrator you will find more info at Setting Up My New Mailman Admin Login.

    As of today, any email that is sent will go directly into a new archive.
    We are in the process of importing the old archives into the new
    archives and due to the massive amount of content, that process will
    take time. We will continue to update you on the progress when we can.

    Thank you for your patience as we continue to bring these features back
    online.
