Rebellion grows over AOL pay-for-email plan
AOL has announced that it will start charging to send emails in an attempt to cut down on spam.
The company will now define two forms of email: AOL 'certified' and AOL 'normal'. Companies that pay for certified mail will be able to bypass spam filters, at a cost of $3 to $4 per 1,000 emails.
AOL will still send 'normal' emails but these could fall prey to spam filters if they contain URLs or attachments.
A consortium of over 50 organisations is organising a fight for the right to free email after AOL announced its plans for a fee charging service.
