Hi there,
I am currently working out an Email System for outbound Emailing, the
client I work wants to send out large Mailings to his customers, and
past customers. I expect alot of Bounces and have found that AOL for
example uses Feedback Loops ( http://postmaster.aol.com/fbl/ ) to inform
the sender about Mail Recpients that do not wish to be Emailed from the
Mailing List. This would benefit us since we can remove the user from
the Database and not harass that email Server again.
Does anyone know other ISP'S that are using FBL ? So far I could only
find AOL and USA.net
Thanks in Advance
Kind Regards

And, you are sadly mistaken about AOL informing you of "recipients who
don't want your email".
What they do is send you a notice every time one of their users clicks
the "spam" button on an email from your servers. But, they strip out all
information that may identify *WHICH* user caused the bounce.
You'll have to make sure you're using some good VERP to actually have
the bounces be useful.
