I am having a problem where users using AOL servers (aol.com and cs.com). A snip of the SMTP log is below:

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.
