AOL email
AOL's blocking all our outgoing email again. We were previously on their whitelist but now that we've changed IP addresses, we're flagged as spammers again.

Until we can get ahold of the right people at AOL (which is proving difficult on a Sunday), you'll have to live without comment notification emails.

UPDATE: A friendly AOL ops engineer contacted us and unblocked us. It'll work again as of tomorrow morning sometime we're told. As for Yahoo, Gmail, etc... we'll be looking into those. For now check your spam/quarantine folders and add us to your whitelists if we show up there.

	From what I've seen, they're only posting things that people are complaining about but can't be fixed immediately. Just be patient—things will quiet down in a few days. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Yahoo mail's been biting recently for that, I've noticed. I've had at least one legit mail from a friend of mine end up in the spam folder, and it's sticking comment notifications from my MT weblog in there too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Am I correct in understanding that those of us who have never had anything to do with AOL are also left without comment notification e-mails due to all of LJ's outgoing mail being blocked by AOL? (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)
