Hi Bryant, AOL does not like to receive multiple e-mails from the same recipient over short periods of time, and definitely not over one connection.
I researched this same issue months ago. The only solution that I have heard of that has been successfully implemented was to send the message to one AOL recipient every 18 seconds. Setting this up would be a painstaking process, but it is the only solution that I have heard of. I'm not sure if 18 seconds is still a valid time limit. There is also a way to get on AOL's preferred sender list which would allow e-mails to go through. Not exactly sure how it works. I think you can find out more by going to http://postmaster.info.aol.com/faq.html Good luck, Marc ------------------------------------------------------ Marc Lichtenfeld Senior Programmer/Technology Lead www.bigdough.com -----Original Message----- From: WebTY's Publishing & Design [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 6:45 PM To: inFusion Support List Subject: [iMS] Newsletter Filtering Question Hello All, One of my clients has been asking me to get them past the AOL and Yahoo filters for about 2 weeks now and I'm clueless of what else to do here. Their legitimate subscribers were getting the newsletters perfectly for months up until 2 weeks ago when Yahoo started putting it in the bulk mail folder and AOL started to black hole it. Do you have any suggestions for fixing this issue? I've included the code I used, along with my clients latest email for reference. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Something is not right, but it can't keep happening every week. ==^======================================================= This list server is Powered by iMS "The Swiss Army Knife of Mail Servers" -------------------------------------- To leave this list please complete the form at http://www.coolfusion.com/Support/ Need an iMS Developer license?
