Re: Unable to send email to AOL domain

Telnet into one of their mx records and you will find the problem. See the
MSKB article on how to. You will likely find as Asher described that you
NEED a PTR (revserse DNS lookup) for this. Ask your ISP to set one up. Also,
as others have mentioned, you may well be blacklisted. Getting off this frm
aol is a real pain, but possible if persistent.
