I had to set up an alternate account to subscribe to an insurance-related List, of all things! How risky is that? Another time, it started blocking email from a friend in Belgium, for no reason at all. I did not know about it until my friend contacted me at another email address. The system message said it was being blocked due to a spam block. I contacted AOL's online help to try to get the problem resolved, who claimed I would need to petition their web administrator to get the address unblocked. Before I did that, suddenly, the mail started working again. AOL treats its members like children running with scissors. I'm going to switch to another ISP, at the nearest opportune moment.
