In re-applying for whitelisting, I do see that AOL requires a minimum of 100 emails/month to maintain a whitelist entry. This is new to me, and would be worth nothing for others who may be adding or removing servers.
Sounds like an obvious motivation for any big mailing list vendor to get an AOL consumer account and subscribe it to a dummy list with 4-5 messages/day, or perhaps more often if you want to do more dynamic monitoring...
This was not obvious for me before, but I am wondering what happens to the list servers that are not in AOL's white list? I wonder if it is 100 emails for each list, or 100 emails to AOL from all lists on the server. More reason to tell AOL users to go to Netscape, I guess. -Sean
