Re: [APML] OT message to Kent Kirkley

Robert,

What may actually be happening is that a spammer is using AOL's mail 
servers to
send messages as a swbell.net user. I've had received messages of 
bounces for
emails that I have not sent coming from the AOL Postmaster. After 
forwarding
these messages to both AOL and Earthlink abuse accounts, they stop for 
a while.
(I am an earthlink customer.) I will not mention the contents of these 
messages.
Let's just say they are not trying to sell me optical equipment.
