do you think that earthlink would automatically blacklist aol if it found incoming spam from aol? I think that earthlink would contact aol and say ... your ingress filtering doesn't seem to be working. It would only be after all attempts to understand aol's ingress filtering that earthlink might take action.
well, I don't know about those two, but I've found Road Runner sometimes blocking mail from ameritech, or at least from part of ameritech. When I asked why my mail to their user was being bounced, their reply was that someone on my subnet was spamming. So then I just had to disconnect my dsl line and reconnect to get on a different subnet and then my mail would go thru, but what sheer idiocy. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
