An AOL Feedback Loop report is initiated by the human recipient of the message, not by an automated process on AOL's mail server. The 'report as spam' button is immediately adjacent to the 'delete' button in the AOL mailbox window, so it is possible that the spam complaint was submitted accidentally. However, it is also possible that the recipient no longer wants to receive messages from the list and erroneously believes that reporting them as spam will cause them to stop. <tongue-in-cheek> The easy way to resolve this problem is to delete all AOL users from the list and configure the list to reject future subscription requests from AOL users. </tongue-in-cheek> -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame
