Hi John. I'm sorry you are having problems receiving mail. AOL is constantly revamping ways to stop spam, and somehow their system is blocking mail from us. The connection from our mail server to AOL is rejected with a notice that some of their users have instructed their software that mail from us is spam. When our connection is rejected, our mail server will keep trying to resend the mail from time to time, and sometimes the AOL mail servers will accept it. This is what explains the delays you have experienced. I have asked to be put on AOL's feedback system to be notified when someone complains of our mail being spam, but thus far I have not received a single notification of a complaint. I would encourage you to complain to AOL about this problem. I think they need to readjust their system. I have problems sometimes sending personal mail to AOL users too because they have marked our IP as a spam concern. They probably use a variety of factors to reject mail, and email from a list like truthtalk probably adds weight to their algorithm and makes mail from TruthTalk even less likely to be allowed through. In the mean time, you could sign up for an email account on yahoo or hotmail, or I could set you up an email account on innglory.org if you like. Or, you can just wait it out and hope AOL fixes the problem. I know of one user who complained to AOL, but he got some South African on the phone who could not really help. He was simply told that our mail server was spamming millions of people, which I know is not true. I could send them our mail logs to prove it, but I don't know anybody there who would receive them and fix this problem. Peace be with you.
