Is AOL having mail problems?

[Black]

I've been unable to get e-mails through to 2 different AOL users in the past 12 hours, from 2 different fastmail sub-domains. "still trying" messages every few hours. Wondering if it's an AOL problem before goofing around trying to contact Fastmail.

I have that problem frequently when sending mail to AOL users. Just as often the mail bounces back as undeliverable.

Years ago, when I was an AOL user, suffering from its vagaries, I took the advice of someone who said, "Get a real ISP!" Even the erratic Yahoo works better.

Too much fastmail spam?

I've been getting all the regular stuff at my AOL accounts, so it looks like it really is fastmail's problem.

Thanks. Whatever it was seems to have unblocked early afternoon. I saw a response to one e-mail showing that I sent it at 1:22 PM (I sent it last night.)
