AOL email

Has anyone had problems sending activation keys and other automated email with aol?

When an aol user register in my site, the email gets blocked by spam filters and is returned back to me.

What could make aol suspicious of our emails?

Hasn't happened to anybody else?

It depends on what is causing the block. The headers or bounce message should give more details about why. Is it the subject, content, or sending server IP?

AOL 9 and later is a nightmare. I returned to AOL8.0 for several reasons, including the software's ever increasing desire to take over every aspect of my computer.

Spam filtering is one so called feature that AOL 9 has really reved-up It tends to look at anything with long subject lines as one string as suspicious and despatch it to the spam folder.

Advice ... (sigh) AOL users need to be aware of manually changing their spam settings, or disable it altogether. Unfortunately its default setting filters too much.

I put up a notice in the registration form, and I haven't received any more returned emails since, and a couple of aol users have registred successfully, so I guess that works.

I'll never know, though, how many users were turned away by the notice.
