AOL has recently started blocking the sending of eMails that have more than a certain number of eMail addresses within that eMail. I use AOL 5.0 and because, from time-to-time, it has been necessary to reinstall AOL 5.0 and this entails creating a new address book, I protected the eMail addresses in my address book by placing all the eMail addresses (about 250 or so) into an eMail and sending this eMail to several Internet-based eMail accounts that I created, as well as saving this eMail with all the eMail addressees as a WORD document. Then, without any notice, this past weekend, when I attempted to send this eMail with 250 or so eMail addresses inside this eMail to my Internet-based eMail accounts, AOL would not allow it to be sent because this eMail was "Rate Limited". I could send other eMails, but not this particular eMail that included all the eMail addresses in my eMail address book. Regards, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY
