You could opt not to send mail to AOL customers. Deep pockets? What? Have you seen our stock price? There is no deep pocket here. We just lost our water cooler, and soda here just became more expensive from the machines than outside at the food carts. We have no money.. Haven't you heard? 1) Have you not been watching the news at all? We have been. http://news.com.com/2100-1023-978019.html?tag=cd_mh http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A3 7742-2003Feb20¬Found=true Lets see you block 800 million spam mails a day. 2) RFC.. Humm... Request for Comment.... Humm.... http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcfaq.html I suggest you read this from the page above... " Are all RFCs Internet standards documents? In a word, "NO!" . Many RFCs have Informational or Experimental status and do not represent any kind of standard. They contain information that may be useful or important to retain in this archival document series. This is important to understand, because unscrupulous marketeers and a careless trade press sometimes falsely suggest that every RFC represents a standard, or that all standards have equal weight. The relationship among Internet technical specifications is often complex. " ----- Lastly..
