Goodmail CertifiedEmail is not yet available. When it becomes available, it
will come at a cost but will provide labeling benefits within AOL that are
not currently supported by the AOL Standard Whitelist or AOL Enhanced
Whitelist. 


*       . First, Goodmail CertifiedEmail will be placed in the inbox
providing your spam complaints stay below the threshold that AOL and
Goodmail set. This benefit is similar to that provided by the two AOL
whitelists. 

*       . Second, your images will display and links will be enabled in all
AOL e-mail clients. This benefit is identical to that provided by the
Enhanced Whitelist. It is also the same benefit you have if your address is
in your customer's address book. However, right now, the only e-mail clients
where this benefit is even relevant are AOL 9.0 and AOL.com, as they are the
only e-mail clients where the default is set to "OFF." 

*       . Third, your e-mails will be labeled as CertifiedEmail. This
benefit is unique to Goodmail CertifiedEmail and is not available via either
of AOL's Whitelists. Whether this will engender trust among your customers
and help thwart phishers is currently only a subject for debate since
Goodmail CertifiedEmail is not live yet and has not been tested. 

The AOL whitelists and Goodmail CertifiedEmail are options and are not
required to reach the AOL inbox.
