I have to add my 2/100ths of a monetary unit, after having dealt with
aol repeatedly. Attempting to return emails forwarded from copyright@*
to my gmail account, with the complaintant email originating at aol
resulted in 554. At this point, despite having aol *unblock* my gmail
account from sending to *@aol.com from here with reply-to/from
copyright@* (after 20 hours of my time wasted, i might add... ~2 hrs
per call x 5 calls) I managed to get a whitelist on the domains in
question, which... unless you classify phpbb notifications as "spam"
have never been even remotely associated with spamming.
Now.. to prevent bs like this from happening in the future... this
email address () is the only email address
associated with me that doesn't reject *@aol.com with 550 with a link
to a page explaining that the user needs to get a better isp. I really
wish more people would stand up to aol and explain to them that their
spam filtering stuff is ineffective as well as annoying.
