Damn AOLOK, on my Dada/Mojo powered nightly-mailings, I have about 10 people that are using AOL or Netscape.net (out of the 50 or so on my mailing list). Well, apparently AOL thinks I send those people too many e-mails and am spamming (despite the fact that I have another Dada install that send a mailing to about 150 AOLers, and it's not banned). Note that if I were still using Bloglet, I would've never got these bounces back to see what was going on, but here are the bounces I got back: SMTP error from remote mailer after initial connection:I'm sending two messages per second, using the SMTP settings in Dada, and that's hardly bulldozing the server. And my domain/IP isn't blacklisted so why on earth is this happening? Regardless, my Web host's abuse department is looking into it. Does anybody out there have an AOL account (that they want to admit to ;-)) that I can email from this domain to see if it gets bounced? So if you're on my mailing list, and are using AOL or Netscape.net (two very poor choices, in my opinion), you're probably not going to get it. Understand, folks, that if you get your Internet access from those folks, you don't have to use them for e-mail. Yahoo! Mail has always been pretty good to me as an extra account, but there are dozens that are better than AOL, that's for sure. 2 Commentsrevil said on 01/01/04 @ 02:49 PM:"server is generating high volumes of member complaints from AOL's member base." Sounds like you have an idiot sending a complaint to AOL. Something like this, "this guy keeps sending me emails that I don't want! I'm too stupid to realize though that I signed up for it and I'm way to stupid to figure out how to get off of the list." I did take some librities, but that's the general gist of what I think is going on.
