Actually being Goodmail requires *fewer* complaints than even regular white listing. The point of Goodmail is NOT that the ISP will not blacklist you regardless of how many complaints you get -- exactly the opposite. If you get a lot of complaints you won't even qualify for CertifiedEmail: http://www.postmaster.aol.com/whitelist/certifiede mail.html : How is eligibility determined for participation in the CertifiedEmail Program? The CertifiedEmail program is open to qualified, accredited senders with a history of good sending behavior. These senders will be further accredited to make sure the sender's programs conform to CertifiedEmail acceptable use policies. Senders accepted into the Certified Email Program will maintain status in the program by keeping complaint rates below threshold across recipient mailbox providers. Violation of complaint thresholds will result in the sender being placed on probation or excluded from the CertifiedEmail Program.
