That's my point.&nbsp; They seem to be willing to block mail just because
somebody complains without ever investigating.&nbsp; In all of the cases
I was involved in, the restored service right after my call because the
IP was blocked in error.&nbsp; They refuse to talk to me about their
blocking criteria.<br><br>

</dl>This is not my first case of blocked email.&nbsp; I also became
aware of email from the USPS server for amateur radio net, port captains,
and cruise and rendezvous online registrations were being blocked by
AOL.&nbsp; I called them and they said there was nothing that they could
do about it as the source had been reported as spam by other AOL
members.&nbsp; Very interesting, because I am the only</u> AOL member on
the list that the registrations are sent to and I certainly did not
report it as spam.&nbsp; I had to switch the registration email to my
cox.net address to solve the problem.<br>
