AOL Placed on Spam Blacklist 364
Hacker-X writes "According to this item over at Spam Kings,
AOL has had a large swath of its IP addresses added to the Mail Abuse Prevention Systems (MAPS) Real-time Blackhole List (RBL).
The RBL is used by many corporations and large ISPs to filter spam.
MAPS evidently started blocking the AOL mail servers less than 24 hours after filing a complaint with AOL's abuse desk. The block was initiated in response to spam emanating from AOL mail servers."

So I take it that even though your Barracuda (http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ [barracudanetworks.com]) is liquid-coooled, it still glows a dull red?

And there is nothing like the execs pissed off again a few days later because they are getting tons of spam because they told you to not use the RBL.
AND there is nothing like tell them it's their own fault.
