The doubles come because the AOL addresses
bounce back from the AOL server (doesn’t have anything to do with you,
Chris, having an AOL address). When that happens, it spams John’s
servers. John’s servers do a bunch of retries and each time it does
retries it sends the mail that is in the queue. When it hits the AOL
domain email addresses, it chokes again and then starts up on the next retry
count. So, we get 3 copies of stuff that is in the queue to send before
they hit the AOL bounces.
John can’t stop AOL people from
joining ridecamp (at least right now he can’t………but I
bet given enough continuing grief he’ll find a way J ). So, we need to
all be nice and honest and not subscribe to Ridecamp with an AOL address.
There is no way to stop this madness. AOL will not help. They don’t
care. If John were to sign up as an AOL partner (and pay them lots of
$$$$) then they would “white list” the @endurance.net domain and we
wouldn’t have these troubles. But, that is blackmail and shouldn’t
have to happen!!!!!
Please, guys…………..find
a local ISP and ditch AOL. They’re evil!
We had the same trouble at Expedia with
AOL, Earthlink and others like them. You’ll never know how much
mail you’re missing until you switch to a normal ISP. And, yes, you
have to deal with SPAM. But, at least your friends who have domain
addresses from large corporations will be able to contact you then J

Well, I'm not on aol and I'm still getting doubles of everything, even
stuff I dont' respond to, so it's not a matter of reply to all or to sender.
the Net is wonderful thing, but.....
I'm sure this is frustrating for you John T.

I know how I did it. The block is a 24 hour soft block (as I
explained previously) it goes away after 24 hours - it comes back again any
time any aol.com user presses the spam button to a ridecamp post. I have not
way to convince aol.com that endurance.net should be white-listed. They have no
way of telling me who may have complained. It is a totally unworkable
situation. I HAVE to remove aol.com addresses from the distribution to keep
system sanity!
jt.
(p.s. I'm not removing your aol.com registrations - only removing the addresses
from the distribution lists. If you go in and
"unsubscribe"->"subscribe" you will put your aol.com address
right back on the list. That doesn't help. It just makes it so that we are
vulnerable to another aol mail constipation attack!)
Do you Yahoo!?
Get on board. You're
invited to try the new Yahoo! Mail.
