Based on my recent personal experience I would highly recommend that
you
drop AOL ASAP and switch to anybody else. They are quite proficient at
arbitrarily making decisions like the one you describe.
Also, If you do drop AOL make sure you keep the letter they send you in
the
mail. After I had dropped them I started getting billed again about
two
months later and the only thing they'll accept as proof is the letter they
sent. When I contacted my bank about these charges they told me they get
similar complaints about AOL almost daily basis.

Lindsey,
I am on another list and this was discussed there. Here is the original
letter and reply from the list administrator. Hopefully this explains the
problem for you
Joyce
Dear List Administrator,
I have not received any mail from the rootsweb mail list for the past
several
days. I called the AOL Postmaster at 1-888-212-5537 to find out why this
was
happening. They told me that because of a flood of complaints from AOL
members that they, the AOL members were receiving so much spam with their
mailing
list email, AOL shut down all the email going to AOL members. I was not
one
of
the ones who complained and I have not had any problems with receiving
spam
with my rootsweb mail lists, I knew nothing about this.
The AOL Postmaster told me that the only way this problem could be solved
was
that each List Administrator must contact the AOL Postmaster at the this
phone number 1-888-212-5537 in order to solve this problem. Until the List
Administrator straightens out the problem none of us who belong to AOL
will
receive
the rootsweb mail.
So please List Administrators call the above number and straighten out
this
mess.
AND THE RESPONSE FROM THE LIST ADMINSTRATOR--
Rootsweb is aware that AOL is, indeed, blocking mail. The folks at
Rootsweb
are working with AOL to correct this problem.
Your patience is appreciated. You might also check the archives to view
any mail you might have missed
