[svlug] OT: I live in an email ghetto - Brian Bilbrey, email rejected

[Karsten M. Self]

Brian:

I tried replying to your off-list mail and got the following result.

Please inform your ISP that ghettoizing the Internet is *not* the answer
to Spam.

See:

    
    AOL Bans Mail from DSL-Hosted Servers
    http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/04/13/2215207.shtml?tid=120


A bad misrepresentation of my views by Erin Joyce, but some truth
managed to slip through:

    AOL Accused of Collateral Damage in Spam War
    http://www.internetnews.com/xSP/article.php/2190331


My own response to Erin Joyce's skewering of my comments:

    A badly misrepresented presentation
    http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=96625  

    (Prior posts in this thread demonstrate the service denial from AOL
    based on a telnet to AOL mailservers port 25).


And the answer to your inquiry is yes, absolutely.

Peace.
