It's a farely common firewall. We were skeptical as well, but only about 30% of our current and new customers were getting e-mails from Party (skins). So we began to look into it. We've also never received an e-mail from an AOL dial-up customer about the Party message.

We're not sure why it works, but in 10 accounts we've tested it does (we'll test 100 before we say which firewall works, if we do at all). We suppose that Party could ban all firewalls, but that would be a little extreme even for them. They are already having problems/account closings from people that are upset that they can have access to their personal information. But based on the way Party has been acting, the possibility exists that they might just close down their site and put up a message that says "We win".
