Let's keep in mind, that Spamcop is percentage based. So - a few bad apples will not spoil the huge volume of "good" mail that AOL will see. There is a chance that the system is self-correcting.
True AOL mail is not likely to fail other tests - as long as Spamcop is combined with other tests in a weighting scheme, I would be surprised if anyone would actually hold or delete legit mail!?

I understand your position, but then whitelist AOL. It's not SpamCop's obligation to decide that IPs that generate real and reproducible spam flow are somehow immune from listing, is it? Sure, if they were to provide more valuable TXT records, they would be of better use, but then again, we've always known that they don't. Their weight should already have taken this into account. Note that until Declude builds in meta-tests (a.k.a. combo tests), SpamAssassin can be used for this purpose. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
