Has anyone written a script that can take the emails from AOL with the redacted address and have it find the correct email address in the maillog? There was a thread that talked about it, but I do not see that anyone did it.
My employer is large enough that we actually have a designated contact at AOL. When we recently discussed our displeasure with all the information they were redacting, we were told that they do not currently redact any "Delivered To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" information that is recorded in any footers, so that would be one potential thing you could enable.
Of course, that doesn't help for those sites who aren't running mailing lists, but instead have local users who forward their e-mail to AOL. And that doesn't help anyone who is running mailing lists but cannot (for whatever reason) enable personalization and VERP, including personalization of footers that are attached to e-mail messages.
We were pointed to the tools at <http://wordtothewise.com/resources/arfrecipient.html>, but that is apparently as far as they are willing to go.
Personally, I'm about ready to get together with a few other people and rewrite the RFC describing the ARF format, and update it such that you cannot possibly be compliant with the 2.0 format if you redact any information whatsoever. Then the entire Internet can beat the holy living crap out of them for not being 2.0 format compliant.
And I say this as the former Sr. Internet Administrator for AOL. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
