RE: [IMail Forum] List server won't send to AOL

You need to have your recipients with AOL addresses complain to AOL.  They are the ones paying the bill and remember to always follow the money!!  If enough AOL users drop AOL for reasons like this, maybe they will change their ways.   <$.02> You get what you pay for in this world.  AOL doesn't cost much and...   thats exactly what you get!!!s </$.02> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of NetQuick Mail Administrator Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 11:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] List server won't send to AOL     AOL has some public and some secret Email evaluation algorithms they perform before deciding if they will deliver any given inbound Email.  On the public side you need to ensure your PTR (reverse DNS) and MX records are straight.  Declude has tools for checking all of that.   On the secret side (this all happens inside of their gateway), they will whether or not they will deliver the message.  Since it is inside their gateway it does not get bounced, it gets dropped.  Yes, this is in violation of the RFCs, and yes they know it, but no they are not going to change it.  Good luck communicating with their admins, the ones you can contact either don't know or have no authority in that area.  Of late they seem to be dropping more and more list server traffic.  This is strictly a rumor, but supposedly MSN and Yahoo are have the same problems with them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward York To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2001 3:26 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] List server won't send to AOL   We have been running Imail 7.04 for only 10 days now, but we have discovered our List Server will not send messages to AOL mail addresses. We do not even get a bounce back. It appears mail from the List server is blocked by AOL. Mailing to AOL users directly from Outlook works fine.   Are there any issues with Imail and why the List Server won’t send to AOL? Or are we the only one having this problem? Is there a solution to the problem if indeed it is even an Imail problem?   Thank You, Edward York 724 Inc.
