    AOL email whitelist questions

    http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/421dynt1.html

    and

    http://postmaster.info.aol.com/tools...st_guides.html


    How's this work???
    If you submit and they accept you will your email no longer be "blocked" globally?

    Meaning if someone in the past said you were "spam" for whatever reason and you got onto this "whitelist" will you now be able to send emails to those who actually request it???

    I have a signup form for a blog site and emails to AOL users after signup always get refused. The people signing up need their profile info sent to them, so they are actually wanting these emails.
    I have no sig...sigh

    yea basically your mail will be delivered without problems. Make sure your form is secure against form post spammers or else you'll get blacklisted.

        dont run any form post mail scripts at all.

        secure your mailing box, make sure you have reverse dns set up, check with samspade to see if your hosting company is blacklisted all ready. if it is they wont deal with you unless you change hosting companys.

        honestly, its best to give them a call and get an open loop and a ref number. call the post master number listed somewhere on that page.

        also, know this even if you are white listed you are still not going to get 100% of mail into aol (adult bigtime, mainstream, not so much as long as you are missing the major keywords for filters).this sucks, they will tell you it sucks, but there isnt anything you can do to avoid it.
        want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.
