AOL is not (yet) blocking based on SPF alone, although it is one of the criteria they use. I spoke to someone at the office of the postmaster at AOL. The domain whitelisting is much more important in getting mail through to AOL than SPF is at this moment, although that will change. As was said, though, SPF is easy enough to implement espescially if you control your own dns so you might as well get it done. AOL's 'postmaster' support people are surprisingly helpful and cooperative, and actually follow up to make sure things work. Maybe that shouldn't be surprising, but it wasn't my expectation prior to calling them. I've now dealt with them 4 or 5 different times on various issues, and found them to be among the best ISP support people I've dealt with. dave
