I just received a bad-boy message from AOL relating to the "Mini Magnetic Sensor" email that was posted to the list this afternoon. These messages usually result from an AOL subscriber hitting the "Spam" button on a message, often because they want to unsubscribe from the list but don't know how. Unfortunately, AOL keeps track of the number of times that happens, and if it's too often, it is blacklisted -- which means that NO address from that system can be sent to ANY AOL subscriber. Getting cleared from the blacklist is a very painful process (I've had to do it...). So, please, if you no longer want to receive time-nuts postings, or if you don't like a posting, please unsubscribe using the instructions at the bottom of every list message; if all else fails, please contact me. But please DON'T hit the "Spam" button! Thanks John It wasn't me, but you've just explained something that's been bugging me for a while. I lost access to my Teknet manual download account a while back, the explanation being that AOL had blocked them from sending to any AOL user. When they complained, AOL refused to deal with them because they weren't an AOL client, that's what Teknet told me anyway, so Teknet passed it back to their AOL users and made it our problem. The AOL instruction to me, when I tried to query it, was to ask the sender to contact them to resolve the problem, which smells strongly of a very lost cause:-( The Teknet free download option requires the user to agree to accept mailshots for, I think, a two year period. I can see that some might end up dumping the mailshots as spam if they no longer want them, and can understand now why AOL have blocked all Teknet emails. I still don't have access to Teknet, but value my Time-Nuts link far more, so certainly hope your message gets through. regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
