I am lucky(?) enough to have an AOL account through my job through which I subscribe to my list (just one so far) so I can watch delivery times, etc.  AOL is not blocking *all* mailing lists (since I get my mail), although they are painfully slow to deliver at times.   So the problem is likely that the subscriber has set his/her controls to not recieve mail from certain addresses or domains.  As an aside, I have blocked hotmail.com and juno.com on that account because of the shear volume of filthy spam that is sent from those domains (or spammers using them as aliases) -- upwards of 50 messages per day in the past.

If the volume is not too high, I would be happy to forward a message you compose to your subscriber(s) describing why they are not receiving your lists and/or replies to their queries.  That message should be sent to bajacobi@aol.com.  Note - I will have to discontinue if this becomes a big job - but I'll let you know if I do.  Just don't send it from juno.com or hotmail.com or it will bounce.

Best regards, Barbara
