I send email to a very small list (350 members), but use the "member sending" option. Therefore, we can generate several thousand emails over the course of one day if the members get into a discussion. I have noticed that AOL has blocked email from us now, they all bounce back. Does anyone know how the get around AOL's blocking? My subscribers that have AOL email addresses now miss out on all of our announcements.
The postmaster info at AOL does not convey complete, or realistic information. The best thing we can do is to get people off AOL email addresses. Forget about the feedback loop, it's uselss. Another approach would be to find someone who suffered financial loss from their email blocking and use that as standing for a class action suit against the AOL practices. Then a subpeona could be issued to get a complete list of their subscribers so they can be contacted as potential claimants. AOL blocking is certainly more damaging than the spamming they claim to be suppressing.
From my experience, the AOL feedback loop works well.
We where blocked a couple of years ago, now any emails that AOL users flag as being SPAM arrive with me and are automaticly unsubscribed from MLK using the MemberID trick.
Since then we've not had any problems with being blocked and we do send weekly emails, all Marketing/Sales related to our product, to 92,000 users.
