I wonder what this sentence might mean. Emails sent to @rr.com are marked as spam... by whom? The only entity who can mark them as spam is the recipient, ie. current operator of the rr.com domain, isn't it? This should not impact delivery to other domains/mail providers. So I do not understand what the author of this sentence is trying to say... That appears to be a mailing list operator explaining why they will not allow subscriptions from rr.com addresses. The corporate entities that used the "RoadRunner" brand and gave their customers rr.com addresses haven't given out new rr.com addresses in many years. Many people with old and no longer needed email addresses, especially ones in widely-recognized domains (e.g. rr.com, one of the first large residential cable Internet ISPs in the US) donate them to spam-detection operations as traps, and there are people who use such trap addresses to test the subscription practices of mailing list operators. There is also a problem that receiving systems may have decided that 'rr.com' is an indication of spam, so that people who use an rr.com address as a mailing list user may cause the list traffic to get marked as spam and causing a cascade of deliverability proiblems. Some mailing list operators (as above) respond by refusing to allow subscriptions from domains they perceive as obsolete. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire ___ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop

It appears that Robert Schoneman via mailop said: >Does anyone know what the fate of email addresses that end in rr.com will be? My old twcny.rr.com address from when I had TWC/RR/Spectrum service still works, even though I switched broadband providers two years ago. I don't see anything that says it's going away.

Re: [mailop] fate of rr.com addresses
I found this "In 2012 Roadrunner was bought by Time Warner Cable (TWC) and rebranded as Spectrum. In 2015 Charter Communications purchased TWC and therefore the Spectrum brand. As a result of the rebrand, all roadrunner.com and rr.com emails have been phased out and rebranded as Spectrum. ... Emails sent to the phased out domains, Roadrunner.com or rr.com, are being flagged by email providers as spam or used as spam traps. We have therefore made the decision to stop sending to these domains."

[mailop] fate of rr.com addresses
Does anyone know what the fate of email addresses that end in rr.com will be? We've started to get a lot of auto-responses to emails sent to *.rr.com addresses saying "my email has changed". The auto-responses follow a standard format which makes me feel like Spectrum/Charter are trying to kill off the service. That said, we still get inbound emails from *.rr.com email addresses which we can (usually) respond to.
