hmm all this is going to do is hurt the small times who have users/clients using AOHell..
example: we run a decent sized forum and a good 30% of our 18K members use aol.. where we are current on their bulk senders list. if this were to be implimented we (along with 1000's of others) would be forced to pay this fee to send our routine email notices to aol users. not cool for non-profit / hobby site owners. (remember not all websites are out to rape your wallet)
guess we'll have to block aol users now..
sux to be an AOHell user, huh?

| Actually, that is not true. Your email will not be blocked at all. It just will have pictures and links disabled...the user can choose to enable them.
That will cost nothing.
Really...has anybody *read* the article?

Wyoming, MI | What about Yahoo? I use my SBCGlobal account for a bit. What will the changes do on the yahoo end, since it doesn't do the whole blocking images/links thing? |

I have read the article. The mail will be blocked, not just the pictures and links. And that means *any* legitimate email, like the note to a buddy or the response from a small business to a product enquiry.
Shameful. |

Yahoo mail does block images from displaying when something is routed into your bulk mail folder. And if your yahoo mail doesn't do this, you have to go turn it on in your spam preferences. |
