One of the people invloved in the discussion on the other list works for AOL, and he confirmed it is purely a regex against the PTR record looking for keywords that indicate dial/dsl/cable users. E.g. if it contains cm, dsl, pool, dial, etc. anywhere from the third level up (127.0.0.1.dsl-city.domain.tld, but not blah.mydsl.tld) they will deny it.

This means that *nothing* you can do on your end will fix this - your only hope is getting your ISP to assign you an address which is not listed in whichever DNSBL that AOL is using. There is at least one dialup.abuse.net (I believe) RBL subscription and they must be using it or another. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
