Start accepting mail to postmaster and abuse so that we do not have to mess with our filters so that legit messages from AOL can be received by our users. What you do with messages after you receive is your business. 2. Stop providing software to users that once installed on their computer makes automatic changes to their configuration, even to the point of messing up existing dial-up connections. (I have seen this with my own eyes.) I have enough work to do without supporting AOL software just because it causes problems on my users' computers. 3. Get tech support that will not answer "Our software is perfect, some thing is wrong with your computer." Case in point: I verified with 4 different computers, 2 being laptops, that if they had a live network connection, then dialed-up to AOL and logged on, it froze the computer. The 3 different techs I spoke with at AOL, including a "senior" tech, claimed that something was wrong with the computer, even with faced with evidence that this happened on 4 different computers, 3 different manufactures, 2 desktops and 2 laptops. The fix, set the page file to static at 2 1/2 times memory and worked fine. BTW, the techs said that can not make a difference. 4. Take real steps at stopping/lessening SPAM coming from AOL users. I am getting sick and tired of hearing all this crap about AOL doing this and doing that to prevent spam from coming in, yet I continue to see SPAM coming into my server from AOL servers. (Verified!) End rant.
