I tried to send a posting for Tom Johnston 1790+ in various states and counties he or his family has lived in from 1790-1886. I sent to 30 counties and all but 9 were rejected. When I called my carrier(AOL) they told me this is a new policy. Aparently this is what they have to do to prevent spammers from being as effective. They checked and verified my account and the past usage,to be sure I had no complaints of spamming. Since I had a clean record they allowed me to modify the amount of mail I send now,however I have to wait 24 hrs before I begin.When I send mail,I or anyone who sends more than 9 emails at once,has to place a disclaimer at the bottom of each. Well I dont know if theres a better way to curtail spammers,but its irritating that it has to restrict me. If there is no better way,then fine,its better than having to put up with spammers. The thing is..dont access sites that spammers hang out. Some areas are obvious,but there may be some that arent. I dont know. Ive never been spammed,except once when I went into a chat room. I never did that again. It was like walking into a bee nest or field of mosquitos.I havent been spammed for 2 years since Ive stayed out of certain sites that raised the liklihood of it. Well I guess I can get used to either disclaiming or just doing 9 at a time. I told them the county sites I write to for genealogy monitor this stuff,but It didnt matter to AOL.
