Write a custom rule to reduce it when it's from AOL. As for the recommendation that you use numbers in your name so it's unique... That's stupid. [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sounds like a spammer to mean! Subject of RE: Equipment... No spam sounding there. The combination together probably didn't help the bayes scoring much.

I have had a couple of FP's recently from valid AOL users. AOL recommends appending digits to your screen name to make it unique, and many users do that. The result (sender using AOL 9.0 client, SA 2.63) is a penalty of 6.39 points right off the bat. Isn't that a bit extreme?
