Story: AOL filter prevents anonymous email
Posted by: Michael Perry (Friday 23 January 2004, 1:15 PM)
AOL are not only filtering 'anonymous' email, but blocking perfectly legitimate mail also. I use Virgin.net and my brother uses AOL.com. I tried sending a message to him about a job vacancy detailed on www.planetrecruit.com, to which we both subscribe. The message was blocked by AOL (actually by NTL on AOL's behalf, I believe) so it didn't get through. Tests showed it was the URL containing the www.planetrecruit.com that was triggering the block. So I could not send a legitimate message to my brother! Sounds a bit fishy to me and smacks of 1984 and all that. Plus, isn't it illegal to block private emails?
