Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Off Topic? - Complaints from AOL

[Matt]

How about their damn Joe-Job bounces coming back without even the content to tag?  Then there's Earthlink and their challenge/response crap. These companies take all the PR they can get for "solving the spam problem" when they are in fact inhibiting the solution for the vast majority of us.  There's only two things that will generally get them to stop; 1) bad publicity (which they are unfortunately used to), or 2) lawsuits.  One thing though that I'm sure about, complaining about it doesn't help in the majority of cases.

What happens is a user on your server has his Imail forward his e-mail to his AOL address. When that user gets spam, he hits the REPORT SPAM button. Guess what, he just reported YOUR IP address.   Another example of AOL stupidity.   There response to my complaint about this, (which they admit has become a big problem,) is we have to educate our users not to use the AOL button.   Since when are we paid to support AOL?   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Glenn \\ WCNet Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 9:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Off Topic? - Complaints from AOL   I've gotten three notices from AOL that complaints by AOL users about our network/mail have increased to an unacceptable level.  322 complaints, then 489.  The notice makes reference to a "Report Card" but there is no link to view it, and nothing attached or quoted.  There is a link to http://postmastesr.info.aol.com, which has a procedure to create a feedback loop for forwarding individual copies of complaints.  I set that up on Friday, received a confirmation, but nothing else.  Another notice arrived today advising 507 complaints.   I have nothing but the three notices from AOL.  I have no details on what are the complaints, nothing from any AOL users.  How do I find out WHAT is going on?  [EMAIL PROTECTED] hasn't responded to my inquiries.   If figure somebody on this list will have suggestions.   Thanks!   Glenn Z. -- ===================================================== MailPure custom filters for Declude JunkMail Pro. http://www.mailpure.com/software/ =====================================================
