Effective immediately: AOL may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which have no reverse-DNS (PTR record) assigned." I've got rDNS records so its not an issue but is anyone else seeing this? ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Rick Baranowski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 17:10:36 -0700 >Don't think so.
