Chapman Mail List
How To Subscribe

The purpose of the Chapman Mailing List is for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the Chapman surname and variations in any place and at any time.

There are two modes available by which to receive the list messages. Below you will find instructions for subscribing to each mode, and also for changing from one mode to the other. For your verification, a transcript of the original subscription request is included with the "Welcome Letter". Please save and file the "Welcome Letter" for future reference.

If you use a forwarding address, or have more than one email account that you will be using to post messages to the list, please make this information available to the list administrator. This is needful so that precautions can be taken to avoid any problems with sending and receiving with more than one account.

Posting Messages:

The Chapman List is a closed list, which means that only subscribers can receive list messages, and only subscribers can post messages to the list.

How to Post Messages:
To post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send the message to [email protected]. It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest modes. You don't need to send it explicitly to both.

Full Mailboxes:

If your mailbox gets full, or if your server has problems, you will be dropped from the List automatically by the Rootsweb auto-responders after a predetermined number of "bounces." Once the problem is cleared up, you can resubscribe.

If you have any questions regarding the mailing list, please contact the list administrator.
