Because AOL is a target I have to suffer? Maybe AOL should think about all the spam and junk mail THEY send out. I do not believe that I should have to pay because AOL is being hit with spam. They have hundreds of millions of dollars to stop the spam in Congress... however, doing that would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in sales from their in-house spamming.
Perhaps AOL customers should just dump them and go with another service. And perhaps EVERYBODY outside of AOL should stop sending them mail... boy would they change their tune then. The sooner they go out of business the better.
I am a CI Host customer and have had a nightmare over the past few weeks (it also happened with my RoadRunner account). I was lied to by the AOL techs who told me that it was due to the Virginia anti-soam law which they said requires them to reject e-mail if it is not from a properly set-up server. Don't the spammers know they should set-up their servers correctly? How stupid.
This is just a low trick by AOL to increase the profist that they have been losing over the past few years for charging outrageous fees and thousands of pop-ups.
