AOL banning emails?

Lots of clients complaining they are not getting emails

[BwanaZulia]

Has AOL started banning more and more email addresses? My site generates an automatic email for your password and a lot of people are complaining they are not getting it. I see it being sent (get a copy) and no bounce back, so is AOL trapping it?

My domain sends out less than 30 emails a month, so it is not spamming by any means.

I noticed that a couple of other big banks are having problems as well.

Where do I go to check?

AOL will often ban your domain from sending e-mails to all AOL members due to one complaint from an AOL user who can't read unsubscribe instructions.

Yahoo Groups has this problem all the time.

Mail from yahoogroups.com gets banned across the entire AOL membership. It usually takes a couple of hundred group members calling tech support at AOL to get it fixed each time it happens.

who can't read unsubscribe instructions.

Who has time to wade through the hundreds of SPAM e-mails being sent out to find "unsubscribe" instructions. It's a lot easier just hitting a "this is SPAM" button.

Many people have also been warned that following "unsubscribe" instructions just verifies an active e-mail address and they get more SPAM.

The trick in the future will be to eliminate SPAM through ID programs or something like that. Until that's done most people will hit the SPAM button.

I am not talking about SPAM.

I am talking about people on AOL who join a mailing list by their own choice. After a while, some of them decide to leave but they try everything except using the unsubscribe instructions which are included at the bottom of each message.

I know several list owners who simply deny any subscribe requests from AOL users.

People on AOL, Hotmail or using spam filters need more information from their email providers. They need to be told clearly that they will/may not receive a lot of emails.

Look at all the peole who just turn their spam filters to maximum because they get a few emails through.
Nightmare!

Huge problem on Ebay, I even have to mention it in all my auctions

I have a membership based site similar to Webmaster World, but on a different subject. This site is 4 years old and has never sent any spam mail.

AOL and Hotmail are hurting the site, by not allowing people to join, because they do not recieve their verfification email, and they do not recieve their private message notifications.

AOL and Hotmail seemed to have cranked up the email blockers a couple weeks ago.

I also just starting getting these messages from Hotmail. Has anyone else been getting these?

Why would they delay emails?
I don't understand it.
