given that half the people on their blacklist are on there unfairly or because tey reside under other hosting isps etc I don't know exactly what they are proud of.
Three of my domains have been blacklisted to aol and my provider has promised me they have no spammers (and tey only have like 3 dozen acct holders but still i have to take his word unless i can prove otherwise). That bein said everyone I needed to mail on aol I pointed ou that I can no longer email them and unless they switch to someone else or use a free mail , thats that because after multipl attempts to get off thi blacklist I was basically told no as was my domain host.
I also know a company who uses a completely different host who has had the same problem. Long story short, a good boatload o their employees and participants have cancelled AOL because they could no longer receive the weekly 'newsletter' which was neccessary for them to do their job.
yeah AOL be proud of your accomplishment..... let's reduce usability, customer satisfaction, and productivity and then tout it as a feature enhancement  |

I basically just do not allow people on AOL to join my mailing list. This also cuts certain benefits to these users if they cannot sign up using a different email address. I had to put my foot down because I was tired of my own mail server getting blocked from AOL because some moron kept hitting the "This is SPAM" button when they received our newsletter.
AOL would not identify the person, so I had no choice but eliminate them all. When a user complains to me, I just point them to a page that has my communication with AOL logged.
It is a hard nosed policy, that is for sure, but in the end, it will have to be their user base who fixes it.
