AOL Nightmares?

October 2007: More and more I am receving phone calls... Seems most of these users are using AOL to email their attachments, photos, etc and the are not coming through. Nope, they are not in my junk filter. It appears as if AOL, in addition a history to blocking emails TO AOL users is also blocking outgoing emails, especially those with attachments. Duh, we've all known that for some time. But what can we DO about it?

Quit using AOL. Period. Nada. End of Discussion. This is an issue that is so prevalent, that HHWD is considering no longer accepting the use of AOL emais from clients or use on projects.

So, to the AOL lovers out there, Here is my question to consider: "At what point is your business WORTH using a service that 1) Monitors your activity for their purposes (Read their EULA, then check out CastleCops info on it) 2) Determines which of your emails THEY allow to come to you (and which of your emails GO OUT to others) 3) Uses AOL.com instead of your own business's name in every single communication you send out ?????
