[Mailman-Users] Mail not getting through to AOL
Has anyone worked out problems with getting mail through to AOL users? I have some members of our lists that claim they are not getting our messages, but they're also not returning bounced to Mailman. So I'm not sure what to do. I suspect there are some kind of filtering options in AOL and that they have to open up all mail coming in from our domain in order to get it (like has to be done with Hotmail). But I don't have an AOL account and can't tell them exactly what to do. Any guidance on what to tell our AOL folks how to receive mail sent through Mailman would be appreciated.

Verping your mail will help, and may solve the problem (look up verp in the FAQ). The problem *may* be that you have too many aol recipients in one piece of mail. You can change this in your MTA or you can try to change this in your Mailman SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 5 Good Luck - and have fun reading the archs!

AOL 8 and AOL 9 introduced many new features with regard to blocking mail. I'd check that they didn't inadvertently turn on some of those tools without also allowing your messages through. Also check out aol's 'postmaster' web site postmaster.info.aol.com, and see what they have to say about blocking and filtering. Check your mail server logs too for some AOL deliveries and see what they say. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.

AOL definitely has anti-spam filters that can result in mail from your server or domain being discarded, if you send them too much mail in a given period of time. And woe betide you if you wind up generating too many bounces in a given period of time.
