Hello, coty. Welcome to Live Technical Support. My name is Curtis.
BadBoyCotyB stated the question or problem as: i need alittle help with spam controls.
Are you contacting us about the computer you are using? You said: yes.
sitlin2206: Pleased to meet you, Coty. -:)
sitlin2206: How are you doing today ?
BadBoyCotyB: i am a member of a website with message forums on it, BadBoyCotyB: and when i make a reply to a topic, i should recieve email from that website when someone else replie, but here lately i think it is being filtered out as spam, and those emails are very important to me
sitlin2206: Thank you for the above information..
BadBoyCotyB: is there something you can do to tell me how to fix this
sitlin2206: Coty, Please allow me to explain.....
BadBoyCotyB: ok
sitlin2206: I understand that you have accidentally spamed a email address and you want to undo it, Correct?
BadBoyCotyB: no i didn't spam that email address, there is several other people at this message board having the same
problem, and we have come to the conclusion that it AOL doing this.
sitlin2206: Thank y ou
sitlin2206: Thank you for the clarification.
sitlin2206: Please tell me are you unable to access the message board?
BadBoyCotyB: no i can still contact the board i just don't recieve my replies from them
sitlin2206: In that case you need to contact them through email ....
BadBoyCotyB: i have, and they say that they haven't changed a thing, its aol that is blocking them out
sitlin2206: AOL does not restrict any person ..... to make changes.....
BadBoyCotyB: well is there a way to take this stupid spam thing off
sitlin2206: It is a member message Board and they have the full right to do any thing....
BadBoyCotyB: but i am wanting to take it off my mail controls....you are taking this the wrong way
sitlin2206: Okay....
sitlin2206: Let's just take it step by step. Please tell me when you're ready. :-)
BadBoyCotyB: oh i am ready
sitlin2206: Please go to AOL Keyword: MAIL CONTROLS. Click NEXT.
BadBoyCotyB: i have already went through that, and changed it
sitlin2206: Did you remove it from the block list?
BadBoyCotyB: it is not on my block list
sitlin2206: then.....
sitlin2206: Coty, that means you have neither blocked any person ..
BadBoyCotyB: that is what i have been saying the whole time
sitlin2206: Yes..... I know Coty....I was checking out if there is any problem in our end ...
BadBoyCotyB: well i hope that AOL finds the problem soon, cause there is gonna be alot of dissatisfied customers out there before too long, i know where there is about 100 of them right now. so i hope you have a good day, i am outta here

i suppose it could be a problem here...(The boards have been pretty F'ed up lately with our host resetting everything everytime a watch ticks) But If other people are not having any problems then I don't know. I still need more information from who is, and who isn't having problems. Like your ISP, your browser, and your THEME here on the board. Like Subsilver, SubBlack3d, Ect.

[Coty]

mine is subblack 3d, and as for isp i guess mine is aol..???? :rolleyes:

[Honda300ex]

I have aol too and i am not getting mine.. I never did anything with the spam stuff ither but, it makes me be on the site more.. ;)

[2strokepwer]

I'm having the same problem with recieving notifications of replies.

[atcpunk107]

i am having probs with getting replys also with aol and my thing is subblack3d

[Wickedfinger]

.... hmmmmm, I use AOL - I dont seem to have any problems at all receiving reply messages.

[J.D.]

What "theme" do you use Wicked? you too Coty...maybe we can find a pattern or something?

[Billy Golightly]

I recieved several emails bouncing back this morning which were topic reply notifications. All of which came from AOL. Honda300ex, I'll use the one I got bounced that was to you as an example:

This leads me to believe it IS a problem with AOL. Perhaps if one of you folks with AOL that are having problems would like to contact them, I've probably got a bounced email I could post for you and then you could copy/paste into a chat for them?

[Howdy]

I have 10 of those bounced emails myself. To get your replys you might think of having a Hotmail, Yahoo, or other such accounts just for this. It looks as if AOL is at fault.
Howdy

[J.D.]

Good ol' AOL for ya, LOL!

[Honda300ex]

This is the first problem i have ever had getting them, It just started this week. So how do you think i might fix it??

[Billy Golightly]

Don't know, either open up a yahoo-hotmail-ect account, OR try to get in contact with AOL and read them that email that bounced back to me.
