[Amc-list] Request Approved (fwd)

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Oh holy master(s), I debase myself in your presence. Thank you
for the moldy crumbs you toss us!



PS: I persued AOL "whitelist" (eg. the bouncer at the door lets
us in to the nightclub) status nearly a year ago; as a desperate
last grab I tried again yesterday. Granted! It means they hit
us with smaller sticks when AMC-list mail is delivered there.

We must keep our "Complaint rates under 0.1%". Umm, one single
complaint out of 24 is over 4%.  Humans are not involved in
those calculations.  You begin to see the problem.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm complaining about AMC_list AOL
members -- I'm not! It's not a problem with individual people
at all.

I hope this whitelist status will solve our problems and I can
stop talking and thinking about it.

It's the Balkanization of the internet.

Subject: Request Approved

Your Whitelist request, with the confirmation code
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx has been approved.

This should become effective within 24 hours.

White listing exempts you from many of the spam filters at our
mail gateways, but it is not a guarantee of delivery.  As was
indicated in the guidelines, AOL requests that mailers keep
their complaint rates under 0.1%, bounce rates under 10% and
bounce acceptance rates above 90%.  If any of these thresholds
are broken, you will be sent an email notification (report card)
on the morning of the following day to postmaster and abuse at
your domain name.  If you get these regularly, it's a good idea
to examine your process and procedures for list acquisition and
management.  Not doing so could result in complaints reaching a
high enough threshold that you incur a dynamic block.  As the
name implies, there is no advance warning with this block.
You will know it occurred by the presence of 554 RLY:B1 message
returns in your mail logs.

White listing does not affect the routing of email to users'
inboxes.  Mail can be delivered to either the "New" mail folder
or to the "Spam" folder.  This routing is determined by personal
adaptive filters and is unaffected by white listing.

For more information on this request, please visit our website

Helpdesk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank You,
AOL Postmaster
