if anyone had ever done that "Get a Free PS3" thing? So I signed up with one of my yahoo accounts that had never been used. I have had it for months with no mail. Within 3 days I had 500 pieces of spam. And I checked the "don't e-mail be offers" box.
I am going to do it again and this time tell them I want the e-mails. This should be interesting.

did you get the free psp?

I did not actually do the deal, just signed up. They put me through a 10 page survey with 25 offers on each page, with a disclaimer that said "accepting an offer on this page does not get you any closer to the free PS3'. So I declined all offers. On the last page it said "you must choose 3 offers in order to move forward to the free PS3".

Fucking crap. I went back and there were 3 offers I would have done, as I am going to do them anyway (sign up for netflix, 4 room satellite TV system, and home delivered water) but I realized that I had used a fake name to sign up, so I don't know what was going to happen after that. Many of the offers were free, but were lame.

I remember one day I misconfigured phpnuke (dropped since then) well it appeared that in one night bots registered and used the php-email fonction to send thousands of thousands of emails (site is hosted on a 100 mb line).
Next morning my isp calls me "hey that's spamming occurring". then for one week I continued to receive the emails of "nondeliverable emails".

I hate spammers;we should burn their servers.

Same thing happened here. AOL still has us on a non delivery list. I can't send e-mail from my work address to any AOL e-mail without getting a rejection.

coming from AOL it's quite laughable, I mean we all know that they are source #1 of spam and "botnet" computers (through their endless supply of sub-knowledged users).

I used a trick at work, the story to be short is that one of our client was on the same isp but changed their mail server dns (they changed mail services) anyhow the problem is that when we were sending them an email they were just never receiving it...because our routing (I don't deliver them directly but our internal mail server pass through the one of the isp, it's quite wise as it add some increased spam and virus protection features) pass through our isp who delivered them internally.

Anyhow after endless calls by them "hey tell your dudes to do their job correctly", like cancel that account. Well I called ISP, at first the dude was like "I can't cancel their account" but I explained that I didn't wanted them to do it ; even if I considered the option of some "social engineering".

I mean try to explain to people "not no problem here it's by the isp and the isp is not in cause because it's client fault so I and the ISP can't do anything to work directly but they kept bragginb me everyday like "hey did you called them". After a while I got quite angry and explained them that it only consume my time and the isp time for NOTHING.

So the solution I gave to the not so smart dude there was : implement a static route in the mail server config (basically one line to add in some config), so no DNS resolution.
I could have given that stuff more earlier but you should consider changing isp if he accepts to do modifications in their config at your first call.

In your case the idea would be to put a static route for aol domain to some external server on a network trusted by aol and you set that externel server to relay your mails (coming from you only he !).

They won't see anything (you could even rewrite headers eventually and stuff).
