We've been hit daily lately by the same stupid SPAM from various
defunct or "full" AOL addresses. I've put an 8000 character limit
(somewhere around 100 lines I reckon) on each message to our list
for the time being assuming they won't go out of their way to chop
up this stuff. If that doesn't work I'll have to tag every subject
line with "Free" in it. I've made several attempts to complain to AOL
but I've gotten no feedback. Anyone know how to get their attention?
