I know I have seen on this list some problems with AOL in the past.
When certain people from AOL try and subscribe to lists held here we are
getting error messages of the form;
---------------
<W> Incorrect or incomplete address field found and ignored.
---------------
Received: from [log in to unmask]
by imo-d04.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v28.32.) id z.23.339753b (3963)
for <[log in to unmask]>; Wed, 8 Nov 2000 12:43:50 -0500 (EST)
From: [log in to unmask]
---------------
I am going to assume that AOL is not issuing fully compliant RFC headers, is
that correct. Is there any way to work around this problem ?
This is an odd problem because I can see from the listserv logs that some
users of AOL are able to subscribe to lists here.
