Re: Can reputable domains stop outgoing spam?

Reputable domains will eliminate 99% of their outgoing spam, as AOL has done.

this doesn't happen without impairing the ability of the mail system to carry legitimate mail.

Has AOL suffered any impairment?

I have had a couple of reports of legitimate email being bounced due to AOL using SPF. The mail was sent from an AOL user to an address on a non-AOL server, and that address was set to forward to an AOL account.
