I'm writing this as the List Czar. If you don't use AOL, you can delete it right now because it's aimed at AOL users.
As those of you who use AOL know, they've been working very hard to fight spam. While this is a good thing, you should also know that some of the messages from this list never reach AOL subscribers because of the spam filters. Over the last few days, about a half dozen list messages have been rejected by AOL and not delivered to any of the people with AOL addresses. My e-mail to the postmaster there asking for an explanation has gone unanswered. I don't use AOL, so I don't know how much control you have over the spam filters on your accounts. Is there anything that can be done by individual subscribers to avoid this problem? Every time one of these messages gets bounced off the AOL spamwall, I get 30-40 rejection notices in my e-mail--one for each AOL address on the list. This is starting to greatly annoy me, and my delete key is getting over-used. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.
