RE: [IMail Forum] BT and AOL Problem - stalemate

[David Lewis-Waller]

Title: Message

I doubt if you can modify the PTR record as the IP address 'belongs' to BT. Try relaying through BT's mail server - be careful here as some types of BT account won't allow you to use anything other than their own domain in the senders email address.   David WiSS Limited     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Reeve Sent: 21 July 2003 13:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] BT and AOL Problem - stalemate I have finally ground to a halt with this problem...AOL cannot help...BT cannot/will not help, they say we have to use their SMTP servers and then it will be OK..!!   We have a fixed IP address and it is not "Residential" and we are definitely not Open Relay (as AOL confirmed).   My only other thought, but I am unsure as to the consequences, is to change my PTR record to be 217.34.127.9 = imail.iesdigital.com instead of it's current "host217-34-127-9.in-addr.btopenworld.com" -  would this work or does it have to be BT as they are our ISP.   Apologies for any incorrect syntax, but I guess you know what I am asking.  Also would this change cure my AOL refusals?   Mark         DISCLAIMER: This e-mail contains proprietary information some or all of which may be legally privileged.
