Discover you're only getting SCOMP notices for that one class C. Fill out a form with all your address space. Wait like two weeks to get a reply. See if they've actually done it. This system IS something useful, as AOL seems to have people who target it and nothing else, and the range of AOL users (with as much respect as is deserved an AOL user) likely to be able to figure out the useful reporting address for an email, or to use something like SpamCop is damned near nil. -Dan --AOLs feedback loop seams to take a month or so to take effect. -James -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Jeftovic Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 2:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: AOL tarpitting? had AOL tarpitting gotten quite a bit more aggressive in the last few days? It happened to us and we signed up for their "feedback loop" and rerouted our mail to them via another route. The new route was tarpitted within 24 hours and absolutely nothing was communicated to us about it via the "feedback loop". Does that thing actually work? Any contacts, on or off list who could advise? -mark -- Mark Jeftovic <[email protected]> Co-founder, easyDNS Technologies Inc. ph. +1-(416)-535-8672 ext 225 fx. +1-(416)-535-0237 "Of course she's gonna be upset!
