AOL says no to SPAM
AOL has decided that Email coming from the Uganda Network and the Africa Network is SPAM, despite being told that every member on our mailing lists has personally decided to join and asked us to send emails to them.

Whilst applauding the decision of AOL to tackle the problem of SPAM, much of which claims to come from AOL addresses, the effect of the ban is that the Network is unable to communicate via its lists with those members of the Network who use AOL.

There is an easy solution to this - simply take your internet services from a genuine ISP such as Demon or Freeserve. Alternatively the Networks can provide a local call dial up service and email address for any member needing to avoid AOL.

In the meantime all our emails to AOL have not produced a response.
