Over on Tweaker's Asylum, I offered to send someone a sample of some Johnson Manufacturing solder and asked them to EMail me a mailing address.They did so through the Audio Asylum EMail system. I replied to that EMail letting them know that their solder went out in today's mail. However shortly after sending my reply, which went to their actual EMail address at AOL, it was bounced back to me.
At first I thought it was because they were using an old EMail address. The mailing address they'd sent was in Connecticut, but their Asylum user profile said they were located in Northern California.
I posted about this on Tweakers so the person would know why they didn't get a reply from me. They said their EMail address was still the same so it wasn't a problem of an old EMail address.
So I pulled up the bounced back EMail and it gave an error message of 544 (TRANSACTION FAILED) along with a link to AOL which explains the error message. Here's the explanation:
EXPLANATION:
There is at least one URL in your email that is generating substantial complaints from AOL members.
At first I thought perhaps some spammer had spoofing an EMail address from @q-audio.com directing it at AOL users. I wasn't thinking of a URL because I hadn't put any URLs in my reply. At least not directly. Then I remembered that when you get sent EMail through the Asylum, the message contains two URLs, one sends you to the user profile of the person sending the EMail and the other goes to a page here about scams.
Of course when I replied, Outlook just copied all the text of the original message including the two URLs.
Ah!
So, I sent another reply, this time removing all the text from the original message including the links.
The reply didn't get bounced back.
Next I sent yet another reply, this time leaving just the link to the user's profile.
That reply was bounced back with the same error message.
Finally I sent yet another reply, time leaving just the link to the scam page.
That one wasn't bounced back.
So for some reason, AOL doesn't like this link:
