New Sender Best Practices Document
The AOL Postmaster Team spends a lot of time helping email senders resolve delivery issues. Our goal is to educate senders on what practices lead to a good reputation and what practices generally lead to a poor reputation. To further this effort, we made a couple of changes to our postmaster website.
First, we added a new document called “Sender Best Practices.” This document outlines the basic guidelines for improving your sender reputation. These are not requirements. They are best practices. Following one or more of these best practices does not guarantee email delivery or whitelisted status, but the more best practices you follow, the better your sender reputation should be – and the better your sender reputation, the better your delivery.
Second, we modified our old best practices document and renamed it “Requirements for Sending Email to AOL” which is more appropriate, as these are in fact requirements. Failure to meet any of these requirements will result in delivery issues.
We hope you find these new documents informative.

WTF did AOL mess up a good thing? I can't get mail from anyone anymore. I'm looking elsewhere for internet service.
