AOL Spam Filters Too Strict

Saw this over at SNN

AOL filters blocked a large amount of mail from EarthLink users. AOL estimates the lost message count to be "in the hundreds of thousands but probably less than 1 million. The mail that was lost is lost." No error message was returned to the sender when the message was blocked. To make matters worse, neither company was aware of the problem until some of its customers brought the problem to EarthLink's attention. Time to adjust the spam detection engine.
