I felt I should pass this on...this explanation came from another L list that I'm on..........and it's a good explanation...please read it! I've said several times to people that AOL does seem to have a problem with various email lists...this explanation will work for all of them, not just listserv lists, or freelists...but for all lists. Peggy >> There are subscribers who periodically report problems with receiving >> messages from this list. For the subscribers who have AOL addresses, >> this will help you understand what happens. > In its efforts to shield its users from spam, AOL apparently has a "report as spam" button on its mailer. What apparently happens is that some people have been reporting list mail, mail that they asked for and had to go through a two step confirmation procedure to get, list mail as spam. > <> > When AOL receives something like three of these reports, it blocks the > mail from the domain. This means that no AOL subscribers get mail > from the list, and in some cases, after a few bounces, some servers > remove them from the list. It is out of the hands of the list owners! > > So, when you get list mail, whether it's showgsd or some other group, > and you don't want to get it any more, unsubscribe. If you can't > figure out how to unsubscribe, write to the moderators and they can do > it for you. DO NOT report list mail as spam, or you will have to > subscribe from a different address if you want to get back on.
