  235.     
  236.  <p>DearAOL.com Coalition members,</p>
  237. <p>Well, it happened. Without informing either their users or senders, AOL<br />
  238. last Friday turned on their Certified Mail system, and began to accept<br />
  239. payment for delivering incoming mail.</p>
  240. <p>While we're disappointed in AOL's action, we're not surprised - nor are<br />
  241. we discouraged. What is important is that the temptation to take money<br />
  242. to skip spam filters does not spread throughout the industry.</p>
  243. <p>That's why we're asking other ISPs and webmail providers to state that<br />
  244. they will not accept money for email.</p>
  245. <p>Can you help us? I've enclosed a letter you can send to your own ISP or<br />
  246. web mail provider, asking them to state that they will not follow AOL's<br />
  247. lead. The language we ask them to agree to is taken from a statement by<br />
  248. representatives of Google's Gmail service, who told reporters last month<br />
  249. that "[Gmail] does not accept payment to bypass its filters", and does<br />
  250. not plan to charge senders.</p>
  251. <p>Customize it as you wish, and send it, ideally to their executives in<br />
  252. charge of email delivery or higher: you may have to contact customer<br />
  253. support to find the right person.</p>
  254. <p>Obviously, if you're an AOL customer, you may have a little trouble<br />
  255. persuading your current ISP to agree! But if you use another web mail<br />
  256. provider as well as AOL, or are considering switching to a competitor,<br />
  257. perhaps you can send the same message to their staff instead.</p>
  258. <p>Thanks again for taking part in this effort. We really think AOL is<br />
  259. shooting themselves in the foot by taking this money - and we're sure<br />
  260. there are other companies who may be happy to learn from their mistakes.</p>
  261. <p>Best wishes,</p>
  262. <p>Danny O'Brien,<br />

  266. <p>==============8><==== CUT HERE, AND SEND TO YOUR ISP ======8><==============</p>
  267. <p>As you may have seen in the press, many groups, including my own, have<br />
  268. expressed concern with plans by AOL and Yahoo to charge payment from<br />
  269. third-party senders to reach their customers' inboxes. I'm writing in<br />
  270. the hope that you will be one of our list of ISPs and mailbox providers<br />
  271. who publicly commit not to follow the same path - and who we highlight<br />
  272. to consumers and the media as one of the good actors in the industry.</p>
  273. <p>We've asked AOL to re-consider their plans at <a href="http://www.dearaol.com/" title="http://www.dearaol.com/">http://www.dearaol.com/</a> .<br />
  274. That open letter has been joined by six hundred organizations,<br />
  275. representing over 15 million members, including individuals like Craig<br />
  276. Newmark from Craig's List and organizations like the Service Roundtable,<br />
  277. CSPR, the AFL-CIO, Gun Owners of America, MoveOn.org, EFF, and Oxfam<br />
  278. America. Members of the coalition have gathered over 350,000 signatories<br />
  279. in support.</p>
  280. <p>As part of this campaign, we're collecting names of ISPs and mailbox<br />
  281. providers who are committed to delivering their customers' email without<br />
  282. charging the sender. We'll be publicizing these ISPs to coalition<br />
  283. members and to the press as companies that do the right thing.</p>
  284. <p>To that end, would your company consider agreeing to the language below?</p>
  285. <p>    "We will not accept payment to bypass our anti-spam filters, nor<br />
  286.     charge senders to reach our users."</p>
  287. <p>Note that this wording neither excludes the possibility of adopting<br />
  288. certification or authentication systems (all of the current<br />
  289. certification systems such as Bonded Sender and Habeas would be<br />
  290. acceptable, as would Goodmail under a different contractual arrangement<br />
  291. than the current agreement with AOL).</p>
  292. <p>We've already had sign-on on these principles from Google's GMail, and<br />
  293. we'd be delighted to include you in the growing list of companies we'll<br />
  294. be publicizing.</p>
  295. <p>Let me know if you'd be interested in signing on. If you have any questions,<br />
  296. you can contact the organizer of this campaign, Danny O'Brien, at<br />
  297. <a href="mailto:danny@eff.org">danny@eff.org</a>, or call him on +1 408 480 3412.</p>
