Subject: Postmaster Mail Receipt Notification

Dear Internet Correspondent:

Thanks for writing to us with your question, concern or comment. You
are receiving this automatically-generated message to acknowledge that
your mail has been received. To keep from further consuming bandwidth
and mailbox space, you will only receive this message once a month
(per account).

Our goal is to process all mail sent to postmaster@aol.com within 24
hours of receipt, and when possible to personally follow up on mail
we've received. However, during times of high volume, staff outages
and similar situations, we may not be able to meet this goal. We hope
that you will understand that under these conditions, replies may be
delayed or omitted. We will only do this when it is necessary, and
your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. Due to the 
large number of reports we receive regarding USENET abuse, not all 
complaint/reports can be responded to personally.

Many messages received by our group can best be answered by other AOL
staff. In these cases, we will forward your mail to the appropriate
department, and you should be contacted by them shortly.
