> When Harvard University used e-mail last month to tell more than 6,000
> applicants whether they had won early admission, dozens of the electronic
> messages bounced back, reportedly because applicants' Internet-service
> providers misidentified the messages as junk mail. But America Online, the
> Internet-service provider that rejected most of the messages, says that
> its mail-filtering software isn't to blame and that none of the
> university's messages were considered spam.
