AOL Treats Fla. Emergency E-Mails As Spam

An Associated Press article this morning (here on Yahoo! News) reveals that:

Emergency managers in Indian River County thought the best way to get their message out was by e-mail, but AOL disagrees.

The Internet service provider is treating the emergency coordinator's address as a source of spam.

The idea was to offer quick alerts about hurricanes, tornados and other weather emergencies, and about 4,200 subscribers signed up for the service.
