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 policies
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.
