marsman -> aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 7:53:51 AM)

I have a kink friend who uses aol.com and I tried mentioning collarme.com in an email.

Aol.com rejected the email and did not say exactly why.

After some testing , I was finally able to send email about collarme.com by calling it "collarme dot com".

The error message from aol.com looks like it is "spam" blocking collarme.com:

Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 554-: (HVU:B1) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvub1.html

Interesting.  More often than not it is someone just having an issue and saying something.

So, naturally I had to send mail from my isp to my aol account.  They are blocking it.  Yet, what can you say since AOL is a free account now?  Sort of like complaining about collarme.

Anyway here is my error message.

I am sorry, but I was not able to deliver your mail to the following addresses:[email protected] : TRANSACTION FAILEDThere will be 0 more delivery retries Next retry scheduled Wed, 9 Jul 2008 10:46:35 -500

I have some erotic stories up on a website, and aol will not allow any of their users to look at the website (it's a general website for all sorts of webpages, not specifically porn or anything).  I always tell the aol users they have to open an explorer window in order to get to the site.

This has been ongoing since before AOL was free, so I'm thinking that wouldn't be a valid argument on their side - LOL!

AOL is still around?  Since I stopped getting the CD to install their program everyday in the mail I just thought they closed up shop.

it is nothing personal I am sure.  basically some forces want the net safe for a 4 year old- even tho life is not somhow the web must be.   so after too much screening we will have a net -- just like a ronald mcdonald happy meal.....  and little else...

I agree that it is nothing personal and AOL is not the powerhouse it used to be when so many people used it for their dial-up internet connection.

But what would happen if your own internet provider, say cable or dsl provider, blocked messages from collarme.com?

The trouble with blocking messages is that the receiver never knows that anything is wrong....

i tried to use an aol address when i changed names......collarme refused it.  now i know why-lol.

Could be.  Although I've never used AOL for anything other than a mailbox.  So, never knew



soul2share -> RE: aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 1:31:31 PM)

Well, folks around here shorten collarme to CM.....that should work....maybe?



pahunkboy -> RE: aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 1:44:10 PM)

I dont like AOL business practices.    they put in the 2.1 version that no other ISP can get online.   also- they want you to use THEIR browser...which means look at AOL stuff.

as to email-  I currently like gmail.   I have had no problems with it.



goodgirl85 -> RE: aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 6:31:25 PM)

aol sucks...



proudsub -> RE: aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 8:58:27 PM)

I had to try it too, from my yahoo email to my aol email, got this message from yahoo:


Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
[sm=Groaner.gif] No wonder i don't as much spam on aol as i do on yahoo.



Real_Trouble -> RE: aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 9:06:20 PM)

Yet another reason to use gmail.



Termyn8or -> RE: aol.com blocks email containing "collarme.com" (7/9/2008 9:18:55 PM)

Well I made some decisions over the years. About AOL, about ev3rything, and I am not saying I am happy with AOL, but I ain't changing just yet.

But AOL is not my ISP anymore, for ten bucks a month I get about 140 MB of FTP space if I play my cards right, and using the old AOL7 is great. It always asks about attachments and such. Never opens anything but text automatically. That I like.

What I don't like is in the spam folder "subject hiddem for your protection". What do they think I am three ? For pete's sake there are Xrated pictures of me in FTP space !. And they can't figure out that I don't need viagra and wouldn't take it if I did.

But half of that spam gets through. But they have to protect me. I'd like to take my TV set over there and use it as a suppostory to cure their stupidity. But I know that won't work.

So this incomplete protection is so valuable that what ? It does not work.

Incomplete protection is not protection at all, it is the illusion of protection.

But now you have me curious, and part of the reason is that I always used to recieve an email when I got a cmail. No more. I shall find out about this.

i just dropped aol premium a few weeks ago, i had been using it for almost 5 years.  it was 27 bucks a month and it gave me headaches, it was always freezing up, etc.  i don't miss it a bit.
