PROBLEMS SENDING EMAILS TO AOL RESIDENTS

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW ALREADY, SENDING EMAILS TO AOL RESIDENTS HAS BECOME PROBLEMATIC. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH AOL BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME.

THE PROBLEM BASICALLY IS AN ERROR CALLED 554 ISP:B2. IT'S RELATED TO MY GENERATING A HIGH VOLUME OF EMAILS TO CUSTOMERS OF AOL. THIS PROBABLY IS THE MAIN CAUSE BUT ANOTHER CAUSE CAN BE THE WAY YOU DISCARD MY EMAILS. IF IT IS PLACED IN YOUR SPAM BOX AND NOT IN YOUR TRASH BOX THEN AOL WILL CONSIDER THE MESSAGE AS SPAM. I HAVE ASKED AOL TO LET ME KNOW WHO MIGHT BE DOING THIS IN ORDER FOR ME TO CORRECT THAT PROBLEM.

AOL DOES HAVE FORMS I CAN FILL OUT DEALING WITH THE BLOCK THEY HAVE PUT ON MY EMAILS. THE TWO FORMS ARE CALLED THE FEEDBACK LOOP AND THE WHITELIST FORMS. HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO FILL THESE FORMS OUT (WHICH I DID) YOU CANNOT BE IN A BLOCKED SITUATION WHICH IS WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.

RIGHT NOW I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 130 RESIDENTS ON THE EMAIL SYSTEM THAT USE AOL (OUT OF APPROXIMATELY 400). AT ONE TIME I WAS ABLE TO SEND OUT 1 OR 2 EMAILS TO AOL RESIDENTS BUT AT THIS TIME, NONE ARE ALLOWED. I CAN'T EVEN SEND OUT EMAILS TO MY EBAY CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ON AOL.

THEREFORE, TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED WITH AOL, YOU WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE BLOG, WHICH I RECENTLY SETUP. I WILL POST ALL OF MY EMAILS ON THIS BLOG. AGAIN THIS BLOG SHOULD BE PUT INTO YOUR FAVORITES AND YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY GO THERE TO SEE WHAT I MIGHT HAVE POSTED. ALL OF MY PREVIOUS EMAILS WILL BE ON THE BLOG. HERE IS THE LINK TO MY BLOG - REMEMBER ONCE YOU GO TO THE BLOG, CLICK ON FAVORITES AND ADD IT.

MY APOLOGIES FOR THE PROBLEM BUT SOMETIMES THESE THINGS ARE OUT OF MY CONTROL.
