AOL is seriously cracking down on mailing lists, mainly because it's difficult to tell a mailing list from a spam run. This has been discussed on SPAM-L; AOL must "whitelist" your mailing list, and there's a long agreement that the admin has to sign before they'll do so. However, I have no clue who to contact at AOL that handles this; let me work some inside contacts and see if I can't find anything out. -Chris On Wed, Jun 20, 2001 at 01:19:40PM -0600, Aaron Dewell wrote: > > > One could assume that to cut down on spam, they are requiring the > RCPT to match either To or Cc in the body.
