Have you heard? AOL recently changed their email acceptance policy – and it could affect you!

Dear Dundee Internet,

What’s “uncategorized failure” all about? My posts– or, it seems, posts from anyone else using AOL–aren’t appearing in my inbox and weren’t yesterday. What’s up?

Thanks for your assistance,
Mr. Edwards

What's this about my FROM: @aol address?

Dear Mr. Edwards,

It appears that AOL has followed Yahoo’s lead and has implemented a DMARC p=reject policy. This breaks all mailing lists worldwide for anyone using a yahoo.com, and now aol.com, From: addresses.

See http://postmaster-blog.aol.com/2014/04/22/aol-mail-updates-dmarc-policy-to-reject/

AOL, in the article above, recommends changing the list parameters like this:

“For mailing lists, also known as listservs, we recommend configuring reply behavior to fill the From line with the mailing lists address rather than the sender’s and put the actual user / sender address into the Reply-To: line. …”

Revolutionizing Group Communication: How DiscussionListServices.com Leads the Wa

Tammy runs a nonprofit organization and there is so much to do. It’s a position that comes with its fair share of challenges and rewards. Managing a nonprofit means wearing multiple hats, including organizing events to coordinating volunteers and everything in between. With so many tasks and conversations happening across various groups, it's no wonder Tammy finds it hard to keep up. Was it Amy who said she would work with the kids on Wednesday and bring chairs, or was it crayons? And the weekend brunch—was it scheduled for 12 PM at 1 Main Street or 1 PM at 12 Main Street? YIKES! Amidst the clutter of apps , digital reminders, and calendars, the details do get lost. Lost details lead to confusion and miscommunication. Overworked and stretched thin, Tammy needs a solution that simplifies communication without demanding more of her limited time. This is a common scenario for many nonprofit leaders, and the solution lies in effective communication tools. This is where group email o

Understanding Permalink Structures In WordPress

In WordPress, a permalink (short for "permanent link") is the URL to a specific post, page, or other content on your site. The permalink structure refers to how these URLs are formatted. WordPress allows you to customize the structure of your permalinks to make them more user-friendly and SEO-friendly. Types of Permalink Structures in WordPress Plain URL example: http://mybookstation.com/?p=123 Description: This is the default setting and is not very user-friendly or SEO-friendly . Day and Name URL example: http://mybookstation.com/2024/05/22/sample-post/ Description: Includes the year, month, day, and the post name. Month and Name URL example: http://mybookstation.com/2024/05/sample-post/ Description: Includes the year, month, and the post name. Numeric URL example: http://mybookstation.com/archives/123 Description: Uses the post ID in the URL. Post Name URL example: http://mybookstation.com/sample-post/ Description: Uses the post name (slug)

Exploring Green Website Design: Sustainable Solutions For A Digital Future

Do my online activities impact the environment? Quite possibly. It’s important to remember that everything has a cost, even seemingly free Wi-Fi. Accessing the internet consumes energy, from powering our devices to running wireless networks. Each of these actions releases a few grams of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But have you ever wondered where all this data is stored? Whether on standalone servers, networked systems, or in the “cloud ”, storing our endless data streams requires a significant amount of energy. This is where the concept of a green website comes into play. Using less energy to access websites, data, and information is not a solution most of us have. However, we can minimize the ecological footprint on a smaller scale with a green website design. This method, while minimizing the ecological footprint, can maximize functionality and appea l.
