[Icom] Fwd: [QSL-Net] AOL Again

That is the point I was trying to make, Dick.

I guess my message may have been a bit
inexact.

The number of addressees on a given reflector message
is one; yours.  For a thousand members, a thousand
different messages are sent.  I think the problem is AOL
sees thousands of incoming messages from a QTH.net
address, and it figures they are spam.

During an average month, this reflector alone will send
out a million individual e-mails.  Not all to AOL, certainly,
but when you take all the many many QTH.net
reflectors we have, the message traffic can look very
suspicious to a large ISP.

73, Dick
