It's not about punishing AOL itself, it's about keeping the list clean. Have a good look at the "From" lines. Most of them are formed like: Sometimes Real Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> while those AOL mails tend to just have the mail address, with the name part ending in numbers more often than not (this fulfills two SA spam criterions on one line). This means that filtering out those mails wouldn't touch the vast majority of mails on this list, and only kill messages which come from people that are too dumb or too lazy to enter their real name in their MUA. -- Got Backup?
