I can't imagine why someone who uses AOL for e-mail would have any interest in Roundcube. Would anyone install Roundcube just to connect it to an IMAP4/SMTP run by AOL? [ed note: LOL!] There may be a sinister reason. Having superficially Googled this just now, I found this: http://www.webmasterworld.com/webmaster/3515610.htm If you a read the first reply to the article immediately below it, you find this claim: [AOL], at least from time to time, has "report spam and get a prize!" campaigns, which, to my understanding, actually encourage their users to click the "report" button as frequently as possible in hopes of winning cars, etc.'' Aha! What may be going on is that AOL users are massively subscribing to mailing lists in which they have no interest, only to generate some traffic and report it as spam, in hopes of winning a spam reporting prize. _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/ BT/8f4f07cd
