It appears the gateway between soc.med and the gen-med list is not
working. I know that Leo got my messages sent to gen-med, but they are
not appearing in the news reader and also I'm not getting any messages
to soc.med echoed in my mailbox.
I have no idea what's wrong but it's very annoying

So I'm posting this through the news reader at groups.google just in
case anyone who can fix it is listening.

Will,
I'm the GEN-MEDIEVAL co-listowner currently "on duty."
I think that your problem is probably due to your AOL email address. See
the comments at
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/, which is the first place to
look for information about RootsWeb or gateway problems.
RootsWeb periodically has difficulties with AOL and other service providers
who start to think that the large volume of email coming from rootsweb.com
is spam. This may happen because some people with AOL accounts want to
unsubscribe from RootsWeb lists but don't know how and end up reporting to
AOL that the list messages are spam. (Note that the help desk cited above
has a list of Most Common Questions, including "How do I
subscribe/unsubscribe to a mailing list, the RootsWeb Review, or the Product
Watch?")
