It differs depending on which version of which client you're running 
on which platform.


Is there a specific version you're looking for?

Who said you had the luxury of being in a canoe?

You're swimming in it, buddy.


They're squatting somewhere above you, and you just hope that you 
have enough time to swim away from the direction and area of impact 
when they decide to let loose again.  Oh, and you want to be real

In the ARF reports, I don't think you're going to see copies of the 
footers.  Not even copies of the message.  Just the headers, of which 
all the useful information will be deleted by AOL.


Moreover, even if you did get copies of the footers (as you have in 
the past, with the non-ARF reports), the people at AOL are smart 
enough to see that there is non-anonymized information in the footers 
and to fix that with the next update of the software.



So, either way, we're screwed.  AOL is determined to delete any and 
all data that would actually be useful to us in our jobs, and they 
are determined to file all these reports automatically.


So do what I do -- file them automatically, in a folder that you 
never go look in.

Why even receive them at that point? They're little more than spam

Because you can always claim you treat their reports seriously. ;)
Actually, when lists are personalized you can always use Message-ID to
look up your nice AOL citizen. That't what I do as I use full 
personalization option.

Message-ID of the original, incoming message.

It may depend on how your MTA is set up. On my lists, there is an internal

That message ID allows me to lookup the recipient despite AOL's obfuscation.

Well, we could provide a Resent-Message-ID.  If it's not present in
the AOL bounce and they won't provide it, we just say We log every
outgoing message so we can fix these problems.  Provide the
corresponding Resent-Message-ID or it's not our problem, you're simply
arbitrarily throwing away your customers' mail.

But what it really comes down to is that they are arbitrarily throwing

If you set yourself up to receive them, it's a lot harder for AOL to 
automatically mark you as a spammer.  Unless you actually are a 
spammer, you're not going to get enough Scomp reports to show up on 
their radar, and you can pretty much safely ignore them.


At least, that's what we've been told by the AOL representative we 
have been working with.

All their customers know is that they are doing everything they can 
to make the spam pain go away.  So, they hit Report as spam for 
every single message, and boy does that make them feel good.


Of course if they thought you were ever throwing away any of their

[Mailman-Users] changes at aol

GNU/Linux
mailman 2.2.11-2
exim4 4.69-6

Before sending out my last mailing (it's an announce list) I set mailman
to do 'full personalization' so I could find out who was hitting the
spam button. The TOS notifications I got back had this at the top:

ALERT: Your feedback loop is not in ARF (Abuse Reporting Format).
Beginning September 2, 2008, all feedback loops will be converted to ARF.
To learn more about how this will impact you, please read more about how AOL
uses ARF at http://postmaster.aol.com/fbl/arfinfo.html.  Also read the
announcement of our plan to convert all feedback loops to ARF on our blog at
http://journals.aol.com/pmtjournal/blog/entries/2008/06/27/aol-converting-all-fbls-to-arf-on-9208/2977.
Please make any necessary preparations to accept ARF feedback loops before the
September 2, 2008 conversion.  To change your existing non-ARF loops to ARF,
fill out our online support form at 
http://postmaster.aol.com/waters/fbl_change_form.html.

What exactly is this telling me? Does mailman or exim need to be changed
or do I need to do something?

Follow the links for more information that are provided.  It's
pretty clear.

You don't really have to do anything.  The spam reports are moving
to the standardized ARF format, and we will no longer have the
choice to continue receiving AOL FBL reports in the format you (and
I) are receiving them in now.

While the ARF format allows for the inclusion of the entire message
that is the subject of the complaint, AOL will be redacting the
message.

This means you will have to track down the individual message by
the Message ID in order to identify the email address of the
specific recipient.

If you add personalization in the footer, AOL will not redact it.

Today, yes, but not after the changes being made by AOL that is the
subject of this thread.

  http://postmaster.info.aol.com/fbl/arfinfo.html

  What is the difference between the traditional AOL Feedback Loop
  format and ARF?

  The traditional format is a MIME multipart message with one empty
  text part and one message/rfc822 part with the original message
  being complained about. Parts of the header of the message being
  complained about are redacted out, where normally the AOL
  ScreenName recipient would be present.

  ARF is defined in a internet draft located at
  http://www.mipassoc.org/arf/ . ARF messages have three mime parts,
  one part for general information, one machine parsable and meta
  data part, and the last part as the original message being
  complained about.  The original message is redacted to protect
  clear text occurrences of AOL screen names and email addresses.
  

An example ARF report (with redacted message) is provided on the
page referenced above.

The messages I got back from AOL included a header line like:

Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That 'username' tells me who the AOL member is. Are you saying that will
be redacted with the new response format?

You see that format in the Return-Path: header and maybe also in the
Sender: and Errors-To: headers because the envelope sender is VERP'd.
If your MTA is doing the VERP, its only in the Return-Path:. If
Mailman is doing the VERP because VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES is Yes
and/or VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1, then it's in the other headers too.

I was going to suggest you try VERP before I saw this post, however, I
don't know the answer to your question. I think you'll have to wait
and see.

Also, Message-ID was mentioned earlier in this thread. Unless you make
changes to Mailman, you can't identify the recipient from the
Message-ID because the post is sent to all recipients with the
Message-ID of the original incoming message.
