I am using Imail 7.03. Since Friday, I have noticed that about an extra 10% of my newsletters aren't being sent correctly. I usually have about a 10% failure rate because I haven't cleaned up my newsletter lists lately, but for the last few days, it is an extra 10%.
That morning, I had to reset my server because I had installed a Windows SP3 update, but can't think of anything else I am doing different. And many of the mails (about 2/3) seem to be to people on aol (and this accounts for about 1/2 of my AOL subscribers). In some cases, I am getting a return email saying: (I did change the email addresses) ... while talking to air-xa03.mail.aol.com.: >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <<< 550 MAILBOX NOT FOUND 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...
