I saw the following in our logs yesterday;
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) Connect aol.com [205.188.156.154:25] (1)
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220-rly-yc04.mx.aol.com ESMTP

11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220-America Online (AOL) and its affiliated
companies do not
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220- authorize the use of its proprietary
computers and computer
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220- networks to accept, transmit, or
distribute unsolicited bulk
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220- e-mail sent from the internet.
Effective immediately: AOL
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220- may no longer accept connections from
IP addresses which
11:12 14:51 SMTP-(08900013) 220 have no reverse-DNS (PTR record)
assigned.
The question I have is (and, I feel that I should already know this but
can't remember) is:
We have a block of IP addresses from our BW Provider. They own the IP
Block, are they the ones who would handle the reverse dns of this block or
do we handle it on our servers. Is it the responsibility of who ever is
listed in ARIN (which makes sense to me)?
Thanks,
Jay Calvert
