In short, getting a new email ID will not work. The damage is done. The solution is with the listserve or the user. The problem is that this list recognizes and worse excepts posts from an email address that has been spoofed. Either the list needs to get smarter so it can do the IP path checks that have been described by others here OR the user needs to remove the offending email address from the list themselves (which has the same effect) and resubscribe using another account whether it is from another AOL or alternate provider. -Andy On Dec 21, 2010, at 6:57 PM, MichaelHughes7A@xxxxxxx wrote: > In a message dated 21/12/2010 17:44:56 GMT Standard Time, shahjen@xxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > is to maybe stop > using AOL as your main mail program and switch to a new, clean address > (gmail maybe) .. notify the people in your address book of the change then > close down or suspend the AOL one > > Would you not get the same effect - no matter which service provides your e-mails if you simply asked them for a new ID - I think AOL allow 6, and others probably do something similar. > > Michael
