Does AOL have any new rules that certain words such as free are no longer a barrier?
AOL constantly tries to prevent spamming which can have a rollover affect into legitimate emails as well. In the past, you had to insert extra punctuation with words such as free. For example, you had to write f.ree to get your email through the AOL spam filter. AOL rules change often. I find out the changes through testing. Lately, I havent had any problems with words such as free. Currently, you can write them without extra punctuation.
