They don't even give us a chance - we connect, and they dump us instantly.
Calling them at that number gives you not much more than a promise that "they'll look into it and get back to you", i.e. they won't bother and will never call you back. The postmaster web site doesn't help much.
I'm at a bit of a loss.
Hmmm. I just did a test from my mail server. I did a manual telnet to a few different AOL listed MX servers on port 25, and got this:
220-rly-ya02.mx.aol.com ESMTP mail_relay_in-ya2.4; Tue, 16 Dec 2003 17:55:45 -0500
220-America Online (AOL) and its affiliated companies do not
220- authorize the use of its proprietary computers and computer
220- networks to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited bulk
220- e-mail sent from the internet. Effective immediately: AOL
220- may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which
220 have no reverse-DNS (PTR record) assigned.
I was able to do a manual HELO, RCPT FROM, MAIL TO, DATA and successfully send an email. The server has only one IP bound, so it can't be because it's using a different IP address. What gives?

Hi,
FYI, rr.com has finally removed my IP from their spammer list as of
today. It took 4 requests dating back to 11/18. I only knew we were no
longer being blocked because one of my customers told me a message got
through. My log file from today verified this to be true. I never did
receive and messages from them other than the auto-responses.

Hi,
We are having a problem sending e-mail to any user at rr.com. Our
messages are refused as spam. I have checked all of the databases that
they say they use and we are not listed in any of them. Over the last
three weeks, I have sent several messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(the address that they say to use for problems like this) but have only
gotten automated responses confirming receipt of the message.
Has anyone else had a problem with rr.com? If so, how did you resolve
it?
Thanks,
Bill
