AOL's AntiSpam System - SCOMP
AOl claims to have this wonderful "Feedback loop" notification system. Right.
Well, here are a couple fundamental flaws:
1. They presume ANY thing an AOL user markd as spam really is spam. Even if it's a note from your mom. Now, I know there are some very intelligent people who use AOL for whatever reason I cannot fathom, but the vast majority of AOL users are complete morons. And AOL doesn't question them.
2. If your domain name is mantioned in the spam ANYwhere, you are at fault. Period. End of discussion. Even if it is a JoeJob.
3. The word "loop" in their "Feedback Loop" is a lie. It's one way and there is NO WAY to tell AOL that they are sending you reports of spam that are just wrong.
GRR.
Just one more reason not to use AOL... in case you needed one.
