Yes I agree with that, and since finding out about this last week have considered contacting the customer and telling him we can no longer forward to his AOL address. If what Jamie Price said it true, it isn't the customer taking the risk, its us (if AOL blacklist our server for relaying spam to their users). What I had asked for before Len's reply is basically 'have AOL published this procedure anywhere' - which would give me something to go to my client with as an explanation to why we can no longer forward. I have no problem with allowing users direct access via POP3, or even web messaging. However when they have access to web messaging, they have the ability to re-enable the forward to a 3rd party account. As you provide web access also, how do you prevent them from setting up the forward? Hold on, just had a thought, you could mod the web templates not to include that option.....?
