AOL Blocks Telstra Bigpond Mail

Posted by timothy on from the you're-not-on-the-a-list dept.

frodmann writes "Australian IT reports here that AOL has been blocking email from Telstra bigpond mail accounts. This is possibly attributed to AOL's new white list policy as reported earlier on Slashdot. Although this article is a few days old I can verify that this is still happening. (For those outside of Australia, Telstra is one of our largest ISPs.)"

    It would be like stopping to deliver snailmail from another city / nation, just because someone living there sends junkmail to your city / nation.

    No. It is the stopping mail from a city where are 100 people sending 60,000 envelopes with anthrax in it.
