Sounds like a nonreversible setting to me. What if you need to change it?
Anyway, I think that by default, the update goes through automatically,
a positive acknoledgement is ignored (default behaviour) and a negative
acknowledgement is honored. (Which means AOL should have been able to
stop it).
Then there is the setting where the update will not go through by default,
and a positive acknowledgement is required.
As to whether it all works as advertized (and PGP auth too?), who knows?
