AW: AOL Mail Problem

hi suresh

thanks for the info...I was not aware of this...
I have filled in the form...
however we can see that AOL is even blocking IP's from
fixed IP block, of
which we know, that these IPs have never been used before
for sending mails.
we have activated some servers on those IPs for testing
AOL...
so the suspicion is, that AOL is blocking whole ranges..
may be a postmaster of them is on this list....

regards
tom

What you have run into is called AOL's "second
received line" filtering

If your adsl customer is infected, or someone who had that
IP recently [if a
dynamic IP] is infected and his PC is originating spam and
malware .. AOL
will block any email with that infected IP in the headers.

Simple reason for this .. a lot of malware is getting quite
good at
hijacking Outlook or other MUA on a user's PC [including
smtp auth
credentials if any] and sending out spam through the ISP's
mail relays.

Please sign your IP space for a feedback loop from aol -
