AOL and my autoresponder

[Blade Runner 88]

Hi,
I use responsebot as my (admittedly low budget) autoresponder and aol as my email service (low budget mentality!). When someone is added to my list the autoresponder sends me an email headsup that there's a new member.
Lately though, these headsup haven't been arriving and neither are they in my spam account. Somehow aol is diverting them.
I like these emails. Has anyone seen this before and know of a solution?
thanks r

AOL is one of the worst email service providers (because they CENSOR your correspondence - well, they say that they protect you from spam - yeah, suure! Actually they protect you from everything ).

When someone decides that he doesn't want anymore to receive emails, he has two options: to cut the cable or to get an AOL email address The result is almost the same.

Conclusion: get another email address.

I've been using GMail since it's early days and they recently added a feature so you can add email accounts from other suppliers. So now all my emails from different domains go straight to my GMail inbox and I can also send from those email address all from my GMail account.

Makes things a lot easier, you could probably setup GMail up to collect your AOL emails(the ones that do get delivered) and start moving away from them.

Hope this makes sense GMail offer so many features that most email suppliers wouldn't or couldn't offer or would want to hit you witha fat bill.

Gmail also has a ton of storage and some very cool features if you go to "Settings" and then click on "Labs". One thing I really enjoy is how easy it is to group certain sets of emails into different categories. It's very easy to add a filter and then have it all separated so it doesn't get mixed in with your other email.

The filters alone make it sooo much more productive :-)
