Subscribing to SARtalk is like joining a national conversation on SAR affairs.   When one SARtalk subscriber sends a message to SARtalk, it will be broadcast to all other SARtalk subscribers.  So to get messages from SARtalk you don't need to have a browser and you don't need to search for anything.  You just sign up, and soon you'll get Email from other members who are also subscribed to the list.

When using SARtalk there are certain rules of online etiquette that members are ask to follow.  Please read our rules for civility (Netiquette) governing member participation in SARtalk.

Many internet "Hoaxes" are pyramided through email and list server forwarding.  Please refer to the references on our HOAXES page before forwarding warning and alert messages to Compatriots and friends.  These sites identify many known hoaxes and scams.

The "SARtalk list" means our list of the Email addresses of SARtalk subscribers.

SARtalk "subscribers" are SAR members have asked to be included in the Email discussion of SAR affairs.

The SARtalk "list server" is a computer program that receives a message sent in by a SARtalk subscriber to the SARtalk address (SAR-TALK-L@rootsweb.com) and later sends that same message out to all SARtalk subscribers.  The list server won't accept messages from people who are not SARtalk subscribers.

SARtalk is a closed, unmoderated list server.  "Closed" means that means only SAR members will be accepted as subscribers.  Some lists on the InterNet are "open" and allow anyone to subscribe.   "Unmoderated" means that a message will be broadcast to the group as soon as is is received.  Some lists on the InterNet are "moderated" and a list moderator must read and approve each message before it can be broadcast.   Please read our rules for civility (Netiquette) governing member participation in SARtalk.

Unsubscribing can be done two way.  The first is an automatic method.   To use the automatic function follow these steps:

If you are in List mode send an email to the following email address with the command "unsubscribe" in the body of the email.

  SAR-TALK-L-request@rootsweb.com

If you are in Digest mode send an email to the following email address with the command "unsubscribe" in the body of the email.

  SAR-TALK-D-request@rootsweb.com

How to change to DIGEST mode - In Digest mode several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message.  There are two steps.

First, send the command "unsubscribe" to

SAR-TALK-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue List mode.

Second, send the command "subscribe" to
SAR-TALK-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving digests.

If you have subscribed to SAR Talk and would like to post a message on the list, address an email it to SAR-TALK-L@rootsweb.com.  It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode.  You don't need to send it explicitly to both.
