It's become a good "indicator" of a user's list management practices. If a certain threshold is reached, we start investigating. The FBL system isn’t perfect, but it’s served us well.

This morning I went to AOL keyword Live Help and asked, "Why do you deliver some legitimate emails to my spam folder?" After asking how often this happens [about twice daily], whether the return address or domain name is in my "do not send list." [no], whether the return address is in my address book [yes], he directed me to this site! During that short exchange, he even suggested that I "clear" my mail controls do not send list! AOL customer service is an oxymoron. Now that I’ve discovered this site, I know why AOL delivers much legitimate email to my spam folder!

They have a good product and they are trying very hard to ruin it.

Three times as long to remove the Channel List and unlocking other functions following my ditching the welcome page, 2. Twice as many mouse clicks to select Left, Right or Center justify, 3. What I'm reading jumps when I release the mouse button after scrolling 4. There's no way I can specify how long to keep my in-mail before ditching it to cyberspace and the box fills and turns off new mail. 5. The lopped-off sign-on tab, with half the thing missing, 6. The harder to read, junky, mile wide E-mail address list, 7. The huge, garish sign-on label with 9.0 in gigantic letters---as if we didn't know. There are about 500 other reasons I hate aol and 9.0, which can be summed up in three expressions: "Crumby programming" "clumsy formats" and "Insane designing." AOL peaked at about 5.0 and since then you've run off the cliff, trying to be everything to every idiot on the planet. Agree on some standard for a data transfer format, and quit dancing some step from the padded cells. An aol subscriber for about eight years, I hate aol and 9.0 for:

Jorge, I suggest if you have a complaint about AOL you contact AOL and voice your opinion. This site has nothing to do with AOL. This article is about an AOL tool called a "Feedback Loop" which has nothing to do with addressing AOL complaints. The AOL Feedback Loop is a tool used by other ISPs to help reduce spam. This article simply praises that tool. {sigh} Here we go again. Jorge, I suggest if you have a complaint about AOL you contact AOL and voice your opinion. This site has nothing to do with AOL.

No wionder Consummer Reports consider you the worst of all the companies serving the internet, I look forward to: either you suppress those interfiering pops or I will move out of here.
