Actually yes.. This sounds like we may have found a common thread..
I also host with Verio... And my situation is just like yours... However.. I setup a backup mail server as a gateway on another network I have at another location. That network uses Global Crossing and delivers mail to AOL fine.... I wonder if this is something specific with AOL and Verio hand off.. Or if AOL has instituted checks that weight certain spam databases (like FIVETEN in particular) heavily.. FIVETEN lists all Verio IP's in mass... And there are 1 or 2 other DB's that list it based on the listing in FIVETEN I think... Right now I have my Imail set to use my 2nd mail server (on Global Crossing) if undeliverable after 3 attempts.. And I can see all mail except AOL is delivered directly, but all mail to AOL hands off to my 2nd server and then is delivered... My server at Verio can't deliver to it.. I hope this helps..

So far I am still unable to deliver to AOL. I call daily and they keep telling me that I have to wait for their escalation team to call me back, which can be now to forever. The mail stopped on Friday which they said they reject mail without a Reverse DNS entry. I explained to them I have one and he says it does not show. The next day I called and the tech said that it is showing up now on their test but I would still have to wait for the escalation team. Then today when i called he said it did not show up on their test and if it did yesterday we must be having problems. I told him i have been checking it daily with dnsstuff and zoneedit and querys by other isp's and always get a return. He stated that theirs is more sophisticated and maybe it is corrupt when it is returned. He said if i get it fixed it still takes 48 hours before I can send mail again. He said every 24 hours they check and you have to pass their test on 2 checks(48 hours) before they will accept mail aga in. I even tried setting up another smtp server on a different IP in my class C and they wont accept so it looks like they are blocking my whole block of IP addresses. I have called verio who delegates my IP block to check on their end if there are any issues. If they say no I am going to try to get Verio to try and contact AOL, Verio seems more willing to help with the issue. Does anyone else have any advice on what else I can do to resolve this or change?
