[DX-NEWS] AOL Problem.
Don't trust the From address, many of the worms will forge these from an infected system's address book (which is where they also get the To addresses). Absolutely true but none of the reported spam had forged headers. Don't loose sight of the fact that only subscribers can post. [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't do a spammer any good. We get a large number of these daily which are simply returned as unauthorized poster.

[DX-NEWS] AOL Problem.
My apologies for this message, but we have a small problem here. With all due respect to Steve, this is not a small problem. On further investigation, it appears that at least one of the AOL / NETSCAPE users of this email server -- that is, the host of DX NEWS, DX CHAT and many other mailing lists, including non-amateur ones -- has accidently or otherwise classified messages from this reflector as spam, at least once There have been four from DX-NEWS/DX-CHAT in the past two days. Suffice to say, this is not good... as Urb has mentioned in the past, since the IP address is blocked, it affects all mail from the server, which affects his commercial and government customers too. This is my problem gang. NJDXA.org doesn't get banned, my mailserver gets banned. I cannot let that happen because I have paying customers on the E-Government mail server. I brought this up a few weeks ago and it stopped for a period. If it happens again I have no choice other than to delete all AOL subscribers. Look at the From address before you report something as spam. Urb, W2DEC -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.

[DX-NEWS] AOL Problem.
You can delete this message if you are not receiving mail at AOL An AOL subscriber to the DX_NEWS list is reporting mail received from the DX_NEWS list as SPAM. I suspect it's happening out of shear frustration with SPAM. You see a group of SPAM messages in your inbox and report all of them as SPAM. As understandable as than may be there are potential serious ramifications to both NJDXA.ORG and ANY client of my using the same mail server. At some point AOL will ban all incoming mail received from mailserver.e-government.com which is the mail server used by NJDXA.ORG. The way AOL does it is unfair but it's their mail server. I just cannot afford to let this happen. I have a responsibility to my paying clients, which include close to 100 municipalities and governmental entities, to provide first class hosting servers and not having the mail service jeopardized by a hobby group. If the reporting of SPAM by one or more DX_NEWS subscribers I will be forced to remove all subscribers with AOL mail address and ban such subscripts in the future. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Urb, W2DEC -- Archives http://www.mail-archive.com/dx-news@njdxa.org THE DXR is sponsored by the North Jersey DX Association.
