RE: AOL Postmaster?
From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On
Anybody from AOL on this list? Could you please send me an email offlist? I need some help.
Have you pursued every avenue of contact listed at: <http://postmaster.info.aol.com/>?
I've found them to be GENERALLY pretty responsive on those channels, as have many others.

I'm still getting feedback on netblocks we haven't been associated with in several years and I've tried about 20 times to get them to stop it but cannot. If you call they just tell you to email, if you email you get nowhere. David

I've had that experience in the past too. Even today, despite periodic emails to them, I still get daily "Current IP Address(es) Listed with AOL" emails from postmaster@aol.com, yet the IP addresses are an incomplete list of IPs that they have been provided and that they have accepted. I can delete the daily emails, but to me it is symptomatic of underlying problems with their FBL system. If anyone from AOL wants to debug this... here are some of your Message-id's: 200704130925.l3D9Pt824558@mailops.mail.aol.com 200704120925.l3C9PFa03190@mailops.mail.aol.com 200704110918.l3B9Io504761@mailops.mail.aol.com 200704100917.l3A9H9T04340@mailops.mail.aol.com If you can figure out why you are sending me daily emails, I certainly would appreciate it. Previous calls and emails have been fruitless, but not frustrating. -Jim P.

Some general, useful NANOG collected wisdom: "It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed complicated. The goal of a scientist is to find an interesting problem, and live off it for a while. The goal of an engineer is to evade interesting problems :)" -- Vadim Antonov "Protecting everything you've decided is important may be expensive. It may not be worth the cost. It's best to have made that calculation before the problem starts, when there's still time to spend money on protection if you do decide it's worth it." -- Steve Gibbard "Curse the dark, or light a match. You decide, it's your dark." -- Valdis Kletnieks That is why we've always used a role email account, like aolabuse@forest.net for an (non-actual) example, specifically setup to receive AOL's SCOMP feed. Much easier to change than a personal email. Much easier to /dev/null if the sending party has lost their clue. --chuck
