The one thing that concerns me is Imail does a EHLO with my virtual
server's domain but then AOL sees my IP address resolves as my ISP's DNS
name. Could this be the problem that reverse DNS's are not matching and
AOL silently deletes the message? If so, any way to correct that.

My domain is registered via Register.com and using their DNS service and
I didn't see any place to put PTR records through their DNS Manager web
interface. My only hosts records are for the domain and then a wildcard
and my MX record points to mail.spocnational.org (which is not a true A
record).

Any other help would be appreciated.
