[epub] Re: AOL

["Scott Wolfington" <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you're handling your bounces globally across all the domains you send
too, then I wouldn't recommend going by the email bounce code # itself.
These seem to be very unreliable from one domain to the next.  I'd 
recommend looking at the bounce description information, instead of the 
bounce code # itself.
