Here is the proof:
The following log is from my server 1kom.net 216.216.179.130 trying to send
directly to my AOL account.
I did not receive the message. Waited/checked for 15 minutes.
A test just after this one with relay worked, I received the second message.
(Took about 1/2 minute)

Ok, the following one is the successful delivery to AOL using relay. I don't
have the log from the relay to AOL, the following is from Imail to Relay.

============================
What is puzzling me is, AOL receives successfully, but does not deliver!
Isn't this unethical, even unlawful?
I wasn't able to get any explanation from AOL.
The "[216.216.179.130] (may be forged)" message is I believe I don't have
reverse DNS.
Thanks for helping,
Omer
