AOL Users Please Read

[AGD-OfficeGal]

We've been told that the latest version(s?) of AOL by default require users to specify acceptable senders of email, and all emails not from those senders are shunted aside into a spam folder - or something like that. Not being an AOHell user, I'm not certain of the details. However, this system would explain why we have been having significant problems communicating with people with AOL email addresses lately.

If you use our internet store and are an AOL user, PLEASE be sure to add the entire airgun.com domain to your list of permitted email addresses. You might do this by adding *@airgun.com to the list if AOHell uses the common format.

You might also want to add ups.com and fedex.com if you want to have a better chance of getting your tracking numbers.

Is that the first time you have heard that? LOL Heck, that goes WAY back.

Better yet get yourself a REAL ISP and quit this AOL nonsense. If they can't provide a service the rest of the world is compatable with then I got no use for them. I have indeed run into people that rejected both my .EDU domain and my .Starband! And so I got NO WAY to email them. I figure its there problem, not mine...

Yup. I don't deal with AOL very often. Those I know that use it like it. Not that I can figure out why.

I can't tell you how many PO'd calls I get from my mom (with an AOL account) that I never contact her, I never sent her my flight information, etc. and she assures me that I am not trapped up in the spam-block filter.

Please, people, if you are stuck with AOL, get a hotmail or yahoo! account and use that. And while you're at it, close that stupid aol browser window and open up Netscape or IE...the world looks much better that way.

Even on the Mac system where its hard to hide stuff, AOL is like a freaking worm, they install aliases and nuggets of itself all over the FREAKING place.

I like te idea above; Any AOer with AOL is banned! That kind of stuff is only suitable for PBN, and MAYBE PBN.
