Everyone, One or many AOL users have been reporting type3@vwtype3.org e-mail messages as junk mail. This has happened as much as a couple of hundred times in the last few days. As a result of this, AOL is getting ready to block 100% of messages coming from the vwtype3.org e-mail server to any AOL recipient. This would affect not only type 3 list e-mail, but e-mail from many, many other folks who, like us, are customers of Cedant (the vwtype3.org web & mail host). The Cedant abuse department's hands are tied, and will have to suspend vwtype3.org entirely unless the abuse reports from AOL users stop. At their request -- an unfortunate but reasonable request, given the situation -- I have had to remove all @aol.com list and digest subscribers. (Unfortunately, AOL only sends threats, but no specifics regarding the complaints, so there is no way to figure out who is originating the complaints.) I sincerely apologize to AOL subscribers. I ask that you stay unsubscribed from the list for at least a few days. Note that I have taken all 27 current AOL folks and specifically allowed them to post to the list, so you can still participate in the discussion. You will have to read messages from the Web in the interim: http://vwtype3.org/listarchive/maillist.html This is a really lousy situation. For now, removing AOL folks from receiving messages directly is something we must do, so that we don't risk shutting everything down entirely for everyone. Thanks to everyone for your patience.
