AOL Sued for Email Blocking

[jason]

I just came across this interesting article on a lawsuit filed by another hosting provider against AOL for doing what they've been doing to many of us...

I doubt CI is going to get far from the rep they've got around town. (Hint search webhostingtalk.com for CI host and you'll see they have a habbit of suing here, there and everywhere).

But I wonder how much of a problem it's going to be now Spews is down for the count. Of course I dunno if AOHell is actually using those lists or have their own.

BIG W00T!!! As far as I can tell, AOL is the only place bouncing my mails. Maybe we should compile a list of 'bouncers.' Is anyone on JagPC getting mails rejected by any place other than AOL?

Maybe this is the answer to 'the problem.' SPEWS is a bunch of Nazis. They say we get what's coming to us for hanging with spammers. Now it's back on them. That's what AOL gets for hanging with Nazis...

I was a customer at CI Host for one year. They are not the friendliest, or compassionate people in town. I would tend to agree that they should be steered clear from and not touched with a 10 foot poll. You will regret it from your wallet and lost downtime with no refunds.

Well, I haven't notice much bouce backs until today. But it's only from AOL. When I was trying to send one of my clients an email. I've been contacting him all day today. And then now, I can't email him.

It's odd. I hope it clears up and I can start talking to my client again.

They just going block happy! They blocking Emails from servers. They blocking IM messaging from people. And now, POP-UP Blocking. It's going crazy. I've been reading. And aol has blocked other ISPs. One being Earthlink. Where everyone with the email address from the domain @earthlink.net were blocked for 10 days. I bet pretty soon. AOL is going to block their own customers from emailing each other.

yay, my emails went through to AOL. Unless it's just going through and not to the people I'm sending it too. hmm... I hope it's getting to the people I'm sending it too!
