Hey all,

Recently my mailman server was flagged by AOL and my messages were rejected with this error.

SMTP DATA-2 protocol error: 521 5.2.1 : AOL will not accept delivery of this message.


When I queried the AOL Postmaster about this issue this was my response.

Few mails from IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xx were getting rejected from one of filters as Reply-to address is same as the TO address. This is caused as one of our filters triggered these emails as spam. I have added protection for your IP. As a good mailing practice, please use a different email address for your reply-to address.


It seems to me that since dmarc munging adds the senders address to the reply-to header, if a user receives a copy of their own postings this is the result.

Can anyone else confirm that this has happened to them and if so what else can someone do except to wrap the message from senders that implement dmarc rejection as in dmarc_moderation_action?


Is there a recommended policy regarding this issue?
