Having trouble?  That's putting it mildly!  A week ago yesterday, I
started getting one auto-delete message after another until I'd lost
about 50 AOL subscribers from my two lists.

Over the following days a few got back on with no trouble, but some get
auto-deleted almost as soon as they sign back on, others have gotten
signed on again but are not receiving any mail.  I'm still missing about
40 AOL subscribers.

The first few days I was able to send private email to them but now even
that's not getting to them.  At least not from here.  Some of the other
subscribers on my lists have been able to get in touch with some of the
one's that I can't reach, but my mail to them isn't getting anywhere
even though I never get back a bounce message or any indication that it
wasn't delivered.

I've called AOL, I've emailed AOL, due to the repeated complaints from
their subscribers two different AOL tech support people have sent me
email, but they don't seem to be getting my replies.  Our postmaster is
having the same problem, he's trying to work on the situation but his
email to AOL, like mine, seems to drop into a big black void in outer
space.
