As in, how much legitimate mail was blocked in order to block "more" spam? I always hear of people on AOL not receiving legit mail from people because their spam filters block it.
Same here! A friend uses AOL, and their "New" spam blocking "tool" was not allowing *ANY* email to be delivered!
Yeah, I guess that would cut down on spam...

Re: And what are the casualties?

Our fortune 500 company gets our domain blocked every few weeks because of this nonsense. Everytime, you have to open a new case with AOL and be added to the whitelist. But the stupid thing is that they don't tell you that you have been removed from the whitelist and put in their spam list so the process begins again. This is just nonsense. My company is a 2 Billion dollar company and we get put on their spam list so that someone can't send emails to their buddies and they complain.

Re: And what are the casualties?

There's a good reason why AOL is blocking savvis.net. They
are hosting quite a few notorious spammers.

Time to find another domain host. Or if you are representing
savvis.net, then you need to stop hosting spammers. Take a
look at the SBL - your provider has 41 entries, including
Scott Richter's company, OptInRealBig. Here's what they
have to say:

said by Spamhaus.org:
"Found 41 SBL listings for IPs under the responsibility of savvis.net"
14 of those are ROKSO entries. That is a serious sign of
trouble. Need more evidence? Google Groups for NANAS and
savvis.net:

»groups-beta.google.com/group/new···is+group

And there's this from one of our Stopping Spam forum
regulars back in October, who says that savvis.net seems
to be signing up new ROKSO spammers:

Sounds like you ARE a crybaby spammer yourself. You use Savvis, you keep getting blacklisted, and you posted anonymously.

Eat spam and die.
