Realistically, though, the threshold is generally pretty high -- it takes a good amount of mail marked as spam before AOL will block you (although there is some evidence to suggest that once a certain number of identical messages have been marked as spam, AOL will silently make the rest "disappear"). I get stuff of this sort about our discussion lists via our AOL "feedback loop" all the time. Generally, I just ignore it. AOL subscribers mark *all* kinds of stuff as spam, so I take complaints from the feedback loop with a much larger grain of salt than an actual complaint sent to the abuse box. Just explain to your ISP that the subscribers added themselves via a closed loop verification process (assuming they did) and that whatever AOL subscriber is marking the messages as spam has s**t for brains. -- "Since when is skepticism un-American?
