AOL users report receipts for things they have bought or
letters from their kids as spam, or just use the spam button
instead of delete. We have a feedback loop with them on a
netblock we moved off of about 24 months ago; I've emailed
their postmaster at least 12 times with no response and no
change. I've called and they refuse to talk and say I must
email or use the form on the postmaster site to be removed;
no effect.
