    On the subject of which I'm in discussion with AOL to get email through that
    contains something which is a known spammers trick, because it is also the
    right thing to have in our emails <sigh>.

    Content is not always a good clue.

    I thought these went to aol.NET which has different spam filtering in place.

    That just creates Chinese whispers.

    For technical issues it really helps if providers can take reports from
    "non-customers", or people providing services to their existing clients. This
    seems impossible for many big companies.

    I think choosing providers carefully can get you more for less.

    AOL have employees who regularly read SPAM-L, which is probably a better forum
    for such questions. Although in an ideal world "postmaster@" would work, it
    rarely seems to with AOL.
