Most common problem is the user placing security restrictions to not receive internet e-mail. This is frustrating because they can send e-mail to you, but you can not reply.

Hi,
Anyone out there with AOL subscribers on your SmartList(s) not receiving all your deliveries or maybe not being able to post to your list from AOL?
Thanks and happy holidays!

I work for a company that delivers large amounts of e-mail for Fortune-1000 companies.
We had a very similar problem with AOL: we started to see many of our messages fail to arrive in AOL mailboxes even though AOL reported they were successfully accepted for delivery.
Sending one or two messages at a time would work flawlessly, but when sending anything larger, some might arrive while many would not.
After a lot of testing, we discovered AOL has some very interesting

regarding email delivery.
In a nutshell, if you deliver more than some number messages to AOL within an a certain timeframe, AOL will accept them for delivery but in actuality, delete them without notice. The metrics AOL uses to decide what should or should not be delivered are not published. [...]

Hey, Well after 1 and 1/2 weeks, AOL got back to me about the troubles delivering email to them. They had me send them a test email, they received it and declared 'no problem found with their filters'. I also verified in my system logs, AOL successfully receiving from my system email that was apparently not delivered to the AOL customer. For your enjoyment, I enclose the following news blurb: E-MAIL GLITCH HITS HARVARD APPLICANTS In the wake of the anthrax scare, Harvard University admissions officials decided to inform early applicants of their decisions by e-mail, but a server glitch caused America Online to reject between 75 and 100 of these instant messages in December. However, the majority of the applicants eventually received their notifications. Nevertheless, AOL officials have not been able to explain why the rejected messages were classified as junk mail by the servers. AOL's Nicholas Graham said the servers are designed to block e-mails of a certain size, quantity, or address. Admissions officials have elected to post a note on Harvard's Web site suggesting that students ensure that their ISPs do not block electronic messages from the school.
