[RFCI-Discuss] Re: Posit: abuse@aol.com

[Jeff Makey]

The offered "yes" argument:

>Each individual message is relevant to an abusive message. If AOL  
>wants to generate abuse at "X" rate, they need to be prepared to  
>accept complaints about it at "X" rate.

has no basis in any RFC that I am aware of, and therefore is
irrelevant in this context.  Since the "no" argument:

>Rate limiting, for situations like this, is perfectly normal and  
>acceptable.

*is* supported by relevant RFCs I conclude that this situation does
*not* justify listing AOL in the RFCI abuse zone.
