I am one of the (long time) admins of this system. The issue has been all AOL. They look at email volume, among other things, and the surge of email around this time of year tripped one of their email volume tripwires. They're not very sophisticated, as evidenced by the fact that we have no issues with other domains. We have gone around and around with their (outsourced) Postmaster team, and it has taken over a week to get any kind of response from them. This has been going on, on and off, for years. What adds to the issue is that certain (subscribed) AOL users choose to hit their "This is Spam" button from time to time on posts that are perfectly legitimate - they presumably do this because they are all upset that they have to read yet another email on a list that *they* subscribed to - that doesn't help either.
If you want my professional advice, ditch AOL for your email list activity and get a real email account from a serious email provider, like Gmail - keep AOL for your personal activity if you don't feel like telling the world that your email changed. Your view and desires as a user may differ, and you may suffer accordingly. We have done and continue to do everything that we can technically on our end to run a reputable server and comply with all applicable internet and email standards, and we have done so since the early 1990's. 73, Dave KM3T _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
