AOL is blocking E-mail from Hughesnet addresses -
There used to be a section in support where we could just list the e-mail addresses that we were blocked from sending to, but I cannot find it. Going to customer support, no one seems to know what I...
- Hello All,
I've received an update. Our e-mail support team was able to send an email to a test AOL account using a hughes.net e-mail account. They reported there was no issues sending to AOL. The header that was provided to us by Terry indicates there was an individual block placed on that e-mail address. If the person you are trying to e-mail to has accidentally filtered you as spam, or their mailbox has filtered you as spam, they will need to place you on their safe senders list. This is especially true if you are sending daily e-mails that may cause the other person's inbox to inadvertently mark you as spam.
Please check with these users from AOL to make sure that you are on their safe senders list and re-try the messages again. If you still experience issues after this, please let us know.
Thank you.

Your experiences with AOL tell the story. It's a crappy "sevice". When I lived on a remote cattle ranch and only had dial-up, I wanted something faster, but I refused to even deal with an entity that felt the need to filll up my mailbox on a weekly basis with their silly CD....I did find a use for those.....target practice. Yes, Hughesnet serves my current needs very well, and I do get testy when things don't go the way they should, but the alternatives are not even worth considering. I have no choice where I am....dial-up or satellite, and since I purchased the equipment in 2007 I could choose to dump them, but I don't feel like going through the hassles of trying out a new provider only to find they, too, have problems. The best I can do is come here and try to make others aware of my own issues with Hughesnet and how I was able/not able to resolve them. It usually works out. In this present issue wiith AOL and our emails....I really believe the issue is with AOL and they need to fix it....even if Hughesnet has to be the one to step in and alert them that they are being stupid.
