I worked at AOL for over two years, as the first Internet Mail
Operations person they ever hired, and left as the Sr. Internet Mail
Systems Administrator for AOL. I know how their marketing department
works.
On the one hand, you have an old creaky system that only ever
kinda-semi-sorta-somewhat works on the best days, and costs a
boatload of money, people, and time to maintain. On the other hand,
you have a system where they get a share of the paid spam that goes
through the system, via Goodmail -- a method that they have said will
completely by-pass all anti-spam checks, and guarantees that the paid
spammer in question will have unhindered access to your mailbox.
Which one do you honestly think that they are going to choose?
