What the **** is it with AOL? WHY do 99% of all my messages to AOL addresses (regardless of the email system I use) always bounce back to me? About a dozen AOL-using forum members have contacted me asking for forum access, and every reply I've sent, whether it be via the Eater mail server, Gmail, Virgin, and Hotmail have all bounced. Each time I get almost exactly the same error message:
AOL seems to be the only ISP I ever have any problems with these days. Now all I'm getting are secondary emails from users complaining I am ignoring them. I CAN'T FREAKING REPLY TO YOU PEOPLE!
If you're a AOL user who managed to get here despite the insurmountable odds laid against you, then don't blame me for ignoring you
OK. I'm going for a rest in a quiet, dark corner of the room... |

I think it's a default setting on aol that you use their spam filter.
I used my first non personal addie with aol as a catcher and I have all spam filters off (including the aol spam filter) and it receives everything - spam, phishing, the lot - so maybe those members need to adjust their spam settings.
It is also possible to specify addies or domains from which mail can be accepted, but that may then mean they have to specify all other domains/addies. |

My dad is an AOL user and my gmail regularly gets through to him. You might consider setting up a gmail to send to those people?
Then when they get here chastise them for using a substandard e-mail system when there are plenty of free ones out there. |

Yeah, it looks like AOLOL doesn't like the URL you're sending.
Try SEnding them a mail without the link in it, explaining that theiR ISP is so VEry rubbish that you can't send theM the link. use some kind of a cipher to hide the Page url in the text, though. Send the same mail to 3 people. and that way only those who are truly worthy Can find this fOruM. |

AOL has very strict filtering rules. I've run into this a few times. The best way to deal with it is to become an AOL(L)user and send the email from that account. And yes, I believe [email protected] is taken.
Perhaps a resident 419Eater who has an AOL account can send emails for you?
Edit: for spelling so at least I won't look retarded . . . . . much |

I feel your pain. I've been having that problem for years now. I've had some very upset customers who refused to believe me that, yes, I answered their emails but that I kept getting my replies back.
Some AOL addies work for me, many don't.
It really sucks. |

the answer lies in the error message
Your rejection code is a 554
Unless covered by a more precise response code, response code 554 is to be used to reject a MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, or DATA command that contains something improper. Enhanced status code 5.6.0 is to be used if no other code is more specific. Typically a non FQDN will give this error. I know it is cryptic - but that is where your message is falling over
the rejection codes are outlined in RFC-2476 if you want an instant cure to insomnia go and read it! |

Well since there's not much else other than MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, and DATA in an email message, I think he said that there is something improper somewhere. Just to make matters worse, the report doesn't have the "In response to..." bit that many of them have.
I suppose being astounded by AOL's stupidity in any particular case is rather redundant, but I wonder if AOLusers in Scunthorp have many problems. |

As a former (and still occasional, now that it's free) AOL user I've been most amused by the fact that a lot of AOL's messages to its own members get flagged as spam. Almost every time they announce a new feature, the announcement ends up in the spam folder.
I ran into a problem a couple of years ago when I set up my private domain to forward mail to an AOL account. Because my business address is posted all over the net, every bot in the world has harvested it and I now get over 600 spam emails every stinking day. All of these were forwarded to my AOL account so after a while AOL decided that my server was a spammer, and they blocked it.... None of my legitimate mail could get through. The solution was to redirect my mail to a gmail account, then forward from there to AOL. Pretty convoluted, but it worked -- and best of all, gmail traps 95% of the spam before passing it on. Every week or so I go into that gmail account and delete 3,000-4,000 spams at once.
(So why do I keep the AOL account going? Simply because of archived mails. I have well over 70,000 of them on my hard drive now and the search feature is very easy for a computer illiterate like me, and very useful when I need to find out what I told a customer a year or two ago.) |

I too have another site where online ordering takes place. People with AOL accounts can be a pain (not the fault of the users themselves, obviously) though thankfully the CC merchant we use seem to be AOL friendly, so unless there's an order query, I tend not to have to battle with AOL accounts |
