Steve, I've had my own prblem with AOL email addresses. They think my Web Host is a spammer.
Good luck Maurice Marvi ---------------------------------------- From: "Steve Muncy" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 12:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Attention SprinklerForum Subscribers Using AOL and Yahoo Mail Attention SprinklerForum Subscribers Using AOL and Yahoo Mail! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many (not all) subscribers to the AFSA SprinklerForum are no longer receiving messages because delivery is being blocked by AOL and Yahoo. About 50 percent of Yahoo email users and 70 percent of AOL email users have been blocked and are no longer receiving SprinklerForum messages. If you are currently using an "@aol.com" or "@yahoo.com" email account and you are still receiving SprinklerForum messages, it is possible that you will be blocked in the future. Unfortunately there is nothing we can really do about this. The email servers at AOL and Yahoo have long been a problem, but in the past few years we haven't had many issues..but the problem has now cropped up again starting in December. The AOL servers and Yahoo servers don't always place nice with list servers and block our messages as spam. Our list server will continue to try to deliver messages when it receives a "bounced mail" message - but after awhile it gives up and sets the account as inactive with no mail delivery. What can you do about this? -------------------------------------- (1) If you have received a message from out list server notifying you of the problem, or if you are no longer receiving SprinklerForum emails, you can contact AOL or Yahoo and see if they can pass through forum email to your mail account. This won't be easy but you can give it a shot. Try sending email to "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" and alerting them that you want email from @lists.firesprinkler.org" to be delivered and not bounced. (I'll be surprised if you have any luck with this approach, but it may be worth trying.) (2) You might want to consider re-subscribing to the sprinklerForum with another email address. You can obtain a free email address from Google (gmail.com) or Hotmail (hotmail.com). We have not had any problem with those email servers. (This approach is more likely work for you.) I have unblocked all AOL and Yahoo accounts in an attempt to make sure that everyone can monitor their account with the SprinklerForum, but if messages from the forum continue to be bounced by AOL or Yahoo, our software automatically cut off service again. After one month, we will delete the accounts of all those AOL and Yahoo subscribers whose account has been suspended due to bounced messages. Steve A.
