If you are on AOL and arent receiving your emails from OPM.A.L.E. Heres your reason why this gal has lots of work to fulfill and now shes cut off from the base that helps supply our troops with needed goods !

If anyone has a way to get ahold of people who are in AOL or that have freinds in OPM.A.L.E. please forward this to the appropriate sources

Thanks, Memother for the heads up

Thanks AP, you also must let people know about prayer lists. Lots of prayer chains worldwide use AOL, and they have also been filtered as spam!

Folks, we have to jam AOL's e mail, phonelines, snailmail box and any other means we can think of. If you own AOl stock, please sell it on Monday!

Our troops depend on the volunteers from this org for so much, and we people working thru this org depend on these girls to guide us and tell us where to send what!

My post did not make it so trying again - hope this does not duplicate.

Many thanks Atomic Punk. We have relied on this group for guidance and contacts in the "hot" places to send our care packages. The troops also rely on them for penpals, etc. They have been doing this service for our guys/gals since 1995 and are well trusted. We must not lose touch. We are finishing up our winter project now and in full plans for our Spring 2004 project. Appreciate any and all help from the Freepers to keep OpMaleStar communicating.

I doubt whether AOL is being political here. It's their policy to put a hold on any account that is accused of spamming until the matter is straightened out. They are already known as a source of spam, they are bleeding customers, and they need to preserve their reputation as best they can.

A few years back one of my kids sent out a message to 5 or 6 of her friends--a harmless message, as far as I could see--and one of her friends must have complained to AOL. My account was blocked without notice until I phoned them up and explained. Then they restored it, perhaps after checking and seeing that the message was harmless. It hasn't happened since.

Everybody gets a ton of spam these days. It's possible that somebody complained to AOL without taking a close look or realizing what they were complaining about. That would be enough to trigger this action. And of course they won't tell you who complained, which would violate confidentiality.

Another possible problem is that AOL has limits on the number of copies you can send in one mailing. They way to get around that is to break down the mailings into smaller groups. That's a bit more trouble, but it might solve the problem.

If you have the good luck to speak with an intelligent representative on the phone, they may be able to tell you just what the problem is. I hope you can get this straightened out.

I would think that this would be a constant problem with AOL. Why doesn't she buy an email account. There are several companies out there that will handle bulk mail for about 40 dollars a year. Fire AOSmell.
