Yet another reason to Hate AOL

Because it has been ONLY AOL users that have bounced back, I can only assume
it's an AOL thing?


Certainly seems like a valid conclusion.

So it is wasting ressources and bouncing around the net *3* times.
what for? if you send it once and it fails, chances are that it also failes
on the second and 3rd try.

If AOL has software blocking mail at the server, it will not be in your filters.

True, George . . . what doesn't make sense, though, is that I got the SECOND
email Jay sent . . . and not the first. If AOL was blocking him as a spammer,
seems to me the first one would get through and the second would be blocked,
right?

But there wouldn't be. The emails bounce, pure and simple. They never
get to your spam filter.

Almost always the reason is "no such user", even when there is such a
user. Sometimes it's "xxx is not accepting messages from you", even
when he has added you as an approved sender.

Nonsense.


Not entirely,

I am using AOL 9.0 Optimized for Broadband

So am I. I didn't even know about the spam blocking crap until a few emails I
was exepcting never came and then I went investigating.

But, it appears to be an easy fix as you can set it up so that everything comes
thru.

Alas, it's not nonsense at all. It doesn't happen to everyone
(especially those who use the older software) but it happens to many
or most. It happens to people who specifically include the sender's
address in their list of approved emails.

AOL is pretty thoroughly broken, and it's not needed in any event. I
think you should get rid of it. Why pay twice for itnernet access?

Nonsense.

I am using AOL 9.0 Optimized for Broadband, and I get all your airport
correspondence, including one only about a half hour ago.

I have an email list of about 300. When I realized that many of the
AOL addresses routinely bounced, I separated them and made a list of
eight (eight!) AOL addresses.

That one bounces too, so it doesn't have to be much of a group. Just
to have it processed by Mailman or something similar is enough.

I urge people on my website to ditch AOL. Happily, many are doing just
that as they get broadband, which makes AOL irrelevant.

I never did understand the attraction. It was likely looking at the
internet through the wrong end of a telescope. No other
training-wheels outfit has survived, and I look forward to the day
when AOL joins them in the ditch.
