Sun Apr 13 23:52:13 EDT 2003

Just saw this on slashdot.  It may explain why some people were/are
having problems getting mail to AOL users.

Exchange 2000, you may want to check to see if your IP has been
blacklisted. If any spam has been reported from your IP and you had an
open relay at any point in time you would be blacklisted, and yes, AOL
uses ordb. You can test and resubmit and www.ordb.org

What are you using for your SMTP Server?

As far as I know AOL has pretty restrictive email filtering.

Is anyone else having this problem? When a new user signs up and they
use a email address @AOL.COM the comfirmation email from my smtp server
to AOL never gets sent. Is there a reason for this? I mean i sign up
using hotmail, yahoo, even my work email and they all work fine. Does
AOL filter email from untrusted servers or is it something else?
