AOL email blocking

[Preferred User]

Just emailed someone at aol.com and she never got it. Somewhere in the back of my mind I think the newest version of AOL blocks all emails that aren't in your address book. Does anyone know if that's right? I Googled this and can't find it....but I found plenty of frustration at AOL's blocking of emails for a variety of reasons.

Preferred,

I don't know what the present problem is but AOL has had that problem for a long time, practically since their inception. Waaaay back in my memory, I seem to remember they once wouldn't take hotmail or other similar services. After all this time I can't believe that people still use AOL.

The hotmail thing is true, I remember that back in the day.

I don't know what the current issue is because I tried to remain as disassociated from AOL as possible. I even considered getting rid of Winamp after AOL bought it, but I decided to keep it after all.

Bottom line, AOL is gay and no surprise that it has issues.

Yea I hear ya on AOL. On the other hand I'm coming out of Comcast smtp server. I don't know if anyone has showed up on the Sorbs blacklist as much as Comcast.
