Why can't you reply to my AOL email address?

AOL uses very agressive anti spam filters. While it is great for reducing spam it causes major problems for legitimate business emails which are also flagged as spam by AOL. We do not want our AOL customers to think that we did not reply to their inquiry when the truth is that we did reply but AOL bounced it.
AOL tells us that the end user (you) has the ability to control the agressiveness of their personal spam filter. However, it has been our experience that many AOL users do not know this and do not have their email set to be able to receive our responses to your inquiry.
