More Proof That AO!L Is A Lousy ISP

For those who have America OFF! Line (AO!L) and think they get all the emails their friends and others send--or that you at least have the chance to check your spam filter to see what you're missing...it appears you and other AO!L victims don't. Tonight's bounce message from AO!L:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
:
[IP Address Omitted--TLC] failed after I sent the message.

554 TRANSACTION FAILED

And when you follow AO!L's link to their website, they provide the
following excuse:


EXPLANATION:

This error indicates that your message has been blocked. The
characteristics of your message match those of spam reported to AOL.

SOLUTION:

Please have your ISP or server administrator contact AOL for
assistance. The mail administrator should request a feedback loop that
will alert them to reported spam from their network. You can submit a
request online using our Feedback Loop request form .
