You could opt not to send mail to AOL customers. > I try every day to convince my customers not to send email to AOL addresses! But when [EMAIL PROTECTED] wants to send an email to his mother at [EMAIL PROTECTED], then I don't have much choice, b/c the choice is not mine.
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? > You should have "deep pockets" with the money you charge and the minimal service provided for that cost. Maybe its just mismanagement of funds, but isn't that the name of the game for AOL-Time Warner? Remember in very large tech companies (aka AOL, MS, Sun, Netscape, etc) greed floats and intelligence sinks! 1) Have you not been watching the news at all? We have been. > No, I live in a cave with a generator and a T-1. Lets see you block 800 million spam mails a day. > What is the ratio of spam to ham? 800 million spams/day would be a lot if you only handle 1 billion messages/day. But, if you handle 100 billion messages/day, then 800 million spams is a lower ratio than I handle. Give us a context. 2) RFC.. Humm... Request for Comment....

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. " > Yes. But if a single corp has the power to dictate a procedure that the entire industry will use, it smacks of monopoly, unfair trade practices, etc,etc,etc. Gee, this is sounding a lot like the MS monopoly prosecution. But which side of that argument was AOL on? Hmmm. ----- Lastly.. If you hate AOL so much then why do you care so much if you can send email there? > I don't send emails to AOL users. But our customers do! My only contact with AOL users is the 1000s of spams that we filter from AOL addresses. Maybe AOL should practice what they preach and start the anti-spam campaign at home. -Josh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
