It's too bad that about 1/3 of the reported mails are valid opt-in
Postini is my friend :-) -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of chuck goolsbee Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 1:19 PM To: nanog@merit.org Subject: Re: AOL scomp lists. The other 1/3rd are actual spam, but legitimately forwarded as the user requested from a personal or business domain to an AOL account. Any server in the path gets tagged as a spam source. And the remaining third seems to be just plain old normal personal correspondence ... which I find weird.
Ahh well -- this is a nice mechanism that AOL provides, IMO.
Agreed, though maybe they should look at SpamAssasin or Postini. Take their end-users out of the filtering mechanism somehow. --chuck -- ______________________________________________________ There's only so much stupidity you can compensate for; there comes a point where you compensate for so much stupidity that it starts to cause problems for the people who actually think in a normal way. -Bill, digital.forest tech support
