Due to restrictions the AOL has put in place for the handling of inbound email they have imposed new requirements for internet service providers globally.
Email from your server to AOL is now being routed through a filtering server.
The restrictions are as follows:
1) Emails to AOL or including AOL addresses in the recipient field may not be sent to more than 5 recipients. 2) Emails from invalid users such as "nobody" will not be delivered. 3) All emails going to AOL will be scanned for viruses. 4) All emails going to AOL will be compared against a spam database to ensure that spams are not being delivered to their network.
Attempts to curcumvent these restrictions will not be tolerated and any customer discovered doing this will be terminated immediately. If you wish to send to more than 5 recipients you will need to use maillist software that is capable of breaking the messages into smaller groups.
These requirements only affect email sent to AOL users or bulk emails
that contain AOL addresses in the list.
