There is a couple issues last couple days: Duplicate Messages or your ISP Blocking Messages.

Just can't win. AOL, Earthlink, MSN started blocking my DSL connection this week. Had to switch to another method but kept hanging on Frank Z's email address. Once I realized the hanging issue early this morning which was causing a retry of same message (Duplicate Messages result), I switched back.

Anyone using AOL, Earthlink, MSN ext.. will not receive message. Looking into a dedicated IP/Static IP with correct reverse look up but really did not want to as it is a bit more expensive.

All these methods to block SPAM is getting difficult for legit subscription services but still has not curbed the amount of SPAM.

Ya I'm on AOL and dont receive the e-mails anymore. I understand but I'm bummed out seeing that I really look forward to getting them. Thanks for trying to get things worked out, Maybe theres something we can all help with? Thanks, Nick

We all understand, and only wish we could help!

You are doing such a great job Geoff... I'm sure it will work out... just hope it's soon!

In the mean time, if anyone has stopped recieveing the list, you may want to try to set up another free email account with someone like Yahoo, and you should get the list again... it's not that much trouble to ensure you can get by your providers Blanket Spam approach.

See you all on the list! (I hope...)

Brett - 67 Drop Top 455!

Nick , get someone you trust on the 'list' to forward it to you....I forward to FirebirdBill ev. day....

I am attempting a cheaper solution today than going with a static IP. Cross your fingers....

Geoff

Thanks Geoff! Were behind you... just wish we could actually help you out!

Brett!

keeping fingers xxx`d , but still would not mind 'helping out' either

Need help from AOL buddies as I can no longer send messages to any AOL or AOL owned ISPs. Will need the AOL subscribers to complain they are being denied the rights to receive messages from our SUBSCRIPTION based mailing list. We do not believe in SPAM and would NEVER spam anyone. If I could only find the spam ****ers sending the over 2000 messages a week to my email addresses, I would shove the spam down their throats with a shotgun.

Read the following as it is what I am receiving back from all AOL servers and AOL owned ISPs:

----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mailin-03.mx.aol.com.:
554-(RLY:B1) The information presently available to AOL indicates this
554-server is generating high volumes of member complaints from AOL's
554-member base. Based on AOL's Unsolicited Bulk E-mail policy at
554-http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html AOL may not accept further
554-e-mail transactions from this server or domain. For more information,
554 please visit http://postmaster.info.aol.com.
... while talking to mailin-02.mx.aol.com.:


In actuality, I believe the high number of complaints has been from people NOT receiving messages from our SUBSCRIPTION based (Opt-IN) mailing list as a result of their initial block.

As our mailing list is a SUBSCRIPTION based mailing list with a Confirmation message to prevent unauthorized subscriptions, we should not be banned.


Geoff

I'm getting the list again!! Thank you. Nice surprize to wake up to. Nick

Thank you everyone as it looks like AOL has lifted their ban as I show messages are making it through to AOL subscibers and I do not show bounce messages.

Thanks again - Geoff

I think AOL sucks and I think everyone with AOL should change if there is another to change to. just my thoughts about AOL
