A big portion of members on my site use aol mail.Whenever i need to
send them an update/newsletter/etc I am unable to.My mail never
reaches them.It seems that it get stopped by aol's mail filters.I
would like more information about these fiters and how I would go
about beating these filters and getting my mail delivered to my AOL
members.
I am using a bulk mailing program called "super mailer" right now(cost
quite a lot let me tell you.. :( ).Should I be using some other
program?
Any information would be appreciated.
Quick and detailed answer please.

How are the messages being returned to you.  Can you post one of the
headers of a returned email here.

It's possible you've been 'flagged' by one of the spam monitoring outfits.

The mails are NOT being returned to me.They are not being delivered to
the member either.They are just getting stopped somewhere in the
middle.
I have tried from both my personal comp + my server and both the times
the mails dont reach the member.

Mails arent being delivered to hotmail addresses either.
But yahoo accepts them(and they dont go the the junk mail folder either).
Hotmail accepts maybe the first 2 emails but since i have thousands of
members who use hotmail after the first 2-3 it stops.
But I do know people who have a bigger userbase than I do are able to
mail hotmail/aol.
So im basically confused.. and trying to find a solution.

If you're legit, you should be able to send an email or call aol,
hotmail, and yahoo.  Ask them why you're getting blocked.

I have already dropped an email to some of the contacts listed on
aol's page but no response at all.

This is a header problem,
Message me if you want the proper headers. Are you using php ?
