Question:  Does AOL have any new rules that certain words such as “free” are no longer a barrier?

Answer:  AOL constantly tries to prevent spamming which can have a rollover affect into legitimate emails as well.  In the past, you had to insert extra punctuation with words such as “free”.  For example, you had to write “f.ree” to get your email through the AOL spam filter.
