AOL and mail-accepting rules

Fri Jul 22 18:34:20 UTC 2005

First, thanks, all, for the quick replies with regards to the AOL email situation.  The update I got from my client's email provider is that they have been blacklisted by AOL (reason not given), and have asked for our assistance in solving the blacklist problem.

I also received one of the bounces from a client employee.  It comes not from AOL, but from the outbound SMTP server stating that 
Delivery failed 20 attempts: **********@aol.com 

SMTP connection failed

  I have a client who is experiencing problems with sending mail to AOL.  I am not resposible for their email service (yet) but I'd like to know if AOL has changed their policy on anti-spam / mail receipt for their customers (RBL, SORBS, rDNS validation), or if there's a real problem with AOL inbound mail for the past 2-3 days.

  thanks
