Title:

AOL reverses all domains, if the domain doesn't reverse to their satisfaction, they go through the motions, but don't deliver the mail to the end user. When we changed IP's we had the same problem for about a week until their DNS servers reflected the change. We circumvented the problem by calling their DNS admin (number on their whois) and after being bounced around a bit, got a person who understood the problem and gave us a "5 day allow" until we fully resolved to the net.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Peer name unknown

I have a daily mailout that I send to thousands of subscribers. I have within the past week been receiving many complaints from AOL subscribers, stating that they are not receiving the daily mailout.   As a test, I cleared/deleted the LOG file, and then sent an email message to an AOL subscriber. Below is a SAMPLE result.   What is this log telling me? Why do I get a "peer name unknown" message, and what does the "rdeliver" and the status=1 mean?

Thanks.
