Hey Ralph:


Yeah, it's a bummer that aol  is so screwy.  Luckily I don't 
have to jump through hoops like you  did, I can only say "oh 
well, not much I can do," and leave it up to the  users to 
deal with it (like, get a friendlier isp).



I can  re-enable bounce-disabled accounts (which takes a 
while) over and over,  and I have set bounce trigger limits 
to max, but other than that I have no  control over how 
mailman deals with the issue.


Surprisingly, it  just does not seem to be an issue with 
other ISPs.  Ya know, my  credit card companies "learn" my 
habits so they can spot unusual  activity...


You would think that aol would know that after a user  has 
been getting daily email from greenkeys (for months or years 
or a  decade, sheesh), that it is ok to whitelist greenkeys 
and not piss off  their users.  Just silly programming by 
inexperienced software types,  I suppose.

I have had a similar problem  with another mailing list 
I've been on for many years,  I suddenly  stopped getting the 
list.  However, I could post to the list and see  my posts on 
the web site.  Something in its path blocks anything  going 
to Earthlink.  Resubscribing me didn't help.  I got around  
this by subscribing through my throw away at ARRL. Those 
come through  fine.  The list owner has been doing what he 
can but there is more  stuff hanging off the internet than 
you can  believe.
