AOL Rejects Harvard.
The nation's biggest Internet service provider bounced back dozens of e-mail messages sent by Harvard to its early applicants this month --- deleting the big news as junk mail.
This article prompted me to email everyone in my address book on AOL to tell them that I had a new address. Well, don't do it all at once like I did, you'll see what happened if you keep reading. And don't forget to Blind CC everybody. I forgot to do it, but AOL rejected a few of my addresses, so I thought I was safe. Then I sent the email again, with everyone Blind CC'd. They probably just got two emails from me. Ugh!

AOL Rejects Me.
When I sent the email, I got logged off AOL and received this message:

Bulk Mailing is against AOL's Terms of Service. This account has been disabled.

Stupid AOL.

My attempts to log back in to AOL were rejected.

Maybe instead of disabling my account you could just limit the number of people that you can send a message to. An error message after I hit send that said, "We're sorry, but you can only send emails to 20 people at a time.", might have been a better solution.
