This is why I hate AOL. I have a close friend who has AOL and all my emails to her are returned as spam.  We think it is because real spammers “spoof” with our email address, and once that happens AOL marks your email address and no matter if you write to them about it, you will have constant problems with them.  My advice: shun AOL.  Izzy

Hi John.  I'm sorry you are having problems receiving mail.  AOL is

constantly revamping ways to stop spam, and somehow their system is blocking

mail from us.  The connection from our mail server to AOL is rejected with a

notice that some of their users have instructed their software that mail

from us is spam.  When our connection is rejected, our mail server will keep

trying to resend the mail from time to time, and sometimes the AOL mail

servers will accept it.  This is what explains the delays you have

experienced.  I have asked to be put on AOL's feedback system to be notified

when someone complains of our mail being spam, but thus far I have not

received a single notification of a complaint.

 

I would encourage you to complain to AOL about this problem.  I think they

need to readjust their system.  I have problems sometimes sending personal

mail to AOL users too because they have marked our IP as a spam concern.

They probably use a variety of factors to reject mail, and email from a list

like truthtalk probably adds weight to their algorithm and makes mail from

TruthTalk even less likely to be allowed through.

 

In the mean time, you could sign up for an email account on yahoo or

hotmail, or I could set you up an email account on innglory.org if you like.

Or, you can just wait it out and hope AOL fixes the problem.

 

I know of one user who complained to AOL, but he got some South African on

the phone who could not really help.  He was simply told that our mail

server was spamming millions of people, which I know is not true.  I could

send them our mail logs to prove it, but I don't know anybody there who

would receive them and fix this problem.

 

Peace be with you.

David Miller.
