I went through the registration process a little more than a year ago, for The University of Texas at Austin. It did not have any such requirements at that time. However, although the process I saw wasn't quite as streamlined as I would have liked, it truly is heads-and-shoulders above most everyone else in the business. If you talk to anybody who is seriously deep in the spamfighting business (like I have been, since I worked at AOL from 95-97 and was their Sr. Internet Mail Administrator), you will see that pretty much the entire rest of the industry will violently assault you if you should ever say a negative word about AOL. I know, because of my direct internal experience, I've had a few negative things to say about them myself, and many of the biggest names in the field have gone well out of their way to try to rip me a new one. > Semi-related note, anyone know how to whitelist for hotmail.com// > live.com?

I keep hearing about minor tweaks that RP is making to the process on some private anti-spam lists I'm on. -- Brad Knowles <[email protected]> If you like Jazz/R&B guitar, check out LinkedIn Profile: my friend bigsbytracks on YouTube at <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> http://preview.tinyurl.com/bigsbytracks _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
