Having AOL problems....

George Keoki Lake · Post by **George Keoki Lake** » 30 Sep 2003 7:17 pm

To my many friends using AOL, (including Bill Stafford)...let it be known I am having a problem sending messages to anyone on AOL. This is a recent occurance which my son is trying to solve. Sure is a mystery as to why it is only AOL which is being affected, all others are ok. Just know, while I am thinking of you, I cannot contact any of you on your AOL server.

I have a similar problem.

Messages to Ronald B. bounced.
See http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum7/HTML/002420.html

He's on AOL. The rest of my email works OK.
I've given up on it, but would be interested to hear if you find a solution.

If you or whoever on AOL your sending to has recently upgraded to the new "Optimized 9.0" version...>there are still some bugs....as the mail preferences are not particularly set as we are accustomed to.
They may have a block on somethings..and not know it...
In the Mail settings it should be "By Default,show me mail from "Everyone" and NOT from "People I know"

I'm still on AOL 6.0 and lately people have been telling me that their emails to me have bounced back...

I just tested email to Jim. No problem.
Email to Ron B. still bounces.

error message:

It's not a problem for me, just providing info.

Thanx guys...apparently it must be my computer. My son will reformat the whole ball-o-wax in the hopes this will cure the problem.

Actually it is no computers fault. It is an AOL problem. Where I work, my email server has been sending me back AOL messages. So, if someone from my office was trying to send out an email to personsname@aol.com only sometimes would it work. I finally called the AOL emailservice and was forwarded onto the IT dept. They said they are having HUGE issues with incoming routing and it should be resolved by 10/3/2003. I think they have it solved now...haven't seen any rejected messages in 3 days!

I wish I could have posted this earlier, but my work schedule has been CRAZY and I have had almost no time to check out the forum...sorry.

Thanks!
Mark
