AOL advised me to send the unsolicited mail to .....TOSEMAIL#1 if you have
AOL Version #6, version #7 is easier to fwd. these to AOL). I asked if it
wasn't illegal to send these "off color" subjects and they said no, but if it
comes from an AOL member they will lose their AOL privileges. I did have one
come from an AOL address and the rep took this info from me.
AOL also urged me to have a secondary E address to use only when searching
the WEB...this would put all those unsolicited mails activated by the WEB in
one place and not crowd your regular E address. The only disadvantage I see
is, I customarily use my regular E address to forward WEB material to
myself...and there you have it, the system still will get my main address.
