Once More, With Feeling

 

This has been discussed before:

>...Perhaps there's another explanation for Jay's problems?

I think Jay's description of the problem is correct and fully accurate. HOWEVER, the outage was only for a short time and service to Hotmail was restored.

I have a relative who works at AOL (poor choice of jobs) and this is their explanation.

1. AOL monitors incoming e-mail for spam.

2. When mass-mailings (spam) are found, AOL blocks all e-mail from the sending server (Hotmail). Since Hotmail uses multiple servers, AOL claims they only blocked that specific server.

3. AOL then contacted Hotmail telling them about the problem.

4. After Hotmail provided proof to AOL that the guilty account was suspended, AOL then started accepted e-mail from that Hotmail server.

I'm not an AOL fan and would never use them. But, at least they are trying to do something about spam.

There are a couple of other threads, some of which more directly deal with this issue, some which do not; here is one more:

As a regular AOL user, I would say I find several problems with Men 4 Rent Now's e-mail utility: (a) the client needs to type his e-mail correctly, some of the time, he does not; unless he is aware that he has done this, he will not write providing the correct spelling of his e-mail account but rather assume the escort is uninterested or non-responsive. (b) also, even somewhat experienced AOL users are likely to inadvertently delete e-mails which are not spam or to report them as spam.

Dont beleive all the Branson-Virgin Hype. Virgin Like all Airlines is Badly in debt and was probably only saved from bankruptcy by a massive cash injection and virtual take-over by Singapore Airlines a few years ago.

RE: Once More, With Feeling

 

this isn't the same situation though. i am the only one using my domain, so mass emails couldn't be the culprit. i'm not using yahoo or hotmail or anything other than boi4buxx.com.

this has isn't a problem with m4rn either, because emails that are generated with no reference to m4rn (for example: ncm has sent fresh emails to me with just "trying from aol" as the subject line) bounce as well.

Actually, my solution to spam is quite simple. I have setup a rule in Outlook that instantly deletes any received email from anyone who is not my address book.

 

spam problem solved. }(

I have many Outlook rules set up, and use a spam pre-processor so unrecognized messages RARELY make it into my inbox.

 

But if I delete everything from people not in my address book, it would also delete Alert messages from this forum.

 

Hmmmmm...... }(
