[Res-announce] Message from Allen Fossbender: AOL Members on ER9 Listserv

[Fossbender, Allen]

This listserv notice is intended for AOL members who are registered to
receive ER9 listserv messages:

 

The school cancellation notice for February 26 was sent to all ER9
listserv subscribers yesterday at 5: 20 a.m.; the school-delay notice
for February 27 was sent to them today at 5:10 a.m. These notices were
received very quickly by most listserv subscribers.   Many of the
parents and students using AOL.com, however, did not receive the notices
until three or four hours after they were sent out.  According to the
school districts' technology consultant, it appears that AOL filters are
identifying ER9 listserv transmissions as potential spam and are
double-checking the transmissions before they release them to AOL
members who are identified as listserv recipients.  This filtering
process is delaying the receipt of these time-sensitive notices by AOL
members.  I recommend that AOL members contact the postmaster at aol.com
and ask that the ER9 listserv transmissions be sent to them more
quickly.  To my knowledge, school officials are not experiencing this
problem with other e-mail service providers.

 

In addition to requesting AOL members to contact the AOL postmaster
about the delay in receiving listserv notices, I have asked the school
districts' technology consultant to contact AOL directly in order to
expedite a solution to the problem.

 

Sincerely,

 

Allen Fossbender
