AOL Sued For Over-Zealous Blocking

Posted by timothy on from the spy-vs.-spy-escalation dept.

mik writes "America Online has been sued by CI Host, a Texas-based hosting company for defamation, interference with contractual rights and unfair competition. CI Host has been awarded a temporary restraining order, though AOL has apparently not complied. This may be the first such in a series of suits leading up to, perhaps, to class-action status relating to AOL's recent zealotry in anti-spam policy resulting in the presumption that shared-hosting providers are guilty (of spamming) unless proven innocent."

    I seem to be the only person REALLY HAPPY wit CIHost. My site gets tens of thousands of hits per day, and I swear I've never had any bad luck like what you write about. I will agree though that when I didn't renew my acct a few years ago, it took a month to get my money (automatically paid for a new term) back.
