AOL has horrible practices
AOL has horrible practices for E-Mail.
Not only have we been blocked for people who were forwarding E-Mail to their AOL E-Mail accounts from their hosted E-Mail Addresses but we have also been blocked by AOL for bouncing messages back to them!
To fix both we filled out and had ourselves added to AOLs White List.
But now there's another problem from AOL. Not only must the IP Address of the server the E-Mail is coming from match the IP Address shown in the DNS for the same server name, but now that reverse address must map to the server name shown from the E-Mail Server as well! Not only that but there was NO WARNING that they would be making such a major change.
