The other 1/3rd are actual spam, but legitimately forwarded as the
user requested from a personal or business domain to an AOL account.
Any server in the path gets tagged as a spam source.
And the remaining third seems to be just plain old normal personal
correspondence ... which I find weird.
>Ahh well -- this is a nice mechanism that AOL provides, IMO.
Agreed, though maybe they should look at SpamAssasin or Postini. Take
their end-users out of the filtering mechanism somehow.
