elendil@mintir.new-orleans.la.us (Edward J. Branley) replies:

I, too, have received very prompt and polite replies from David O'Donnell
and any other AOL staff member I contacted. But Edward, as far as the
bouncing mail is concerned, wouldn't a low-to-no bounce tolerance policy elimi
nate your problem? And wouldn't that be a bit less extreme that refusing all
AOL subscriptions? (Re your comment: "I'm also curious to know if anyone
here has decided to reject subscriptions from users in the domain aol.com.")
I find it wildly ironic that if you implemented such a policy, you would be
able to subscribe to my list run from AOL (which you do), yet I wouldn't be
able to subscribe to yours. I continue to experience many more problems,
proportionally, from my non-AOL subscribers than the AOL members, but if
*anyone's* mail bounces more than once, I remove them -- if they want to get
back on the list, they'll contact me.
Cheers,
Deb
