Our reverse DNS is fine,(checked it on dnsstuff.com) I went to postmaster.info.aol.com and nothing there helped. We are not getting the message from AOL, it appears that it comes from our server after trying to send the message 3 times and failing each time. I haven't had a chance to check the smtp log. Our server has had a noticeable increase in load the last few days as a result of all the attempts and replies I'd suspect.
I'll wait till tomorrow and see if the problem still exists. If anyone has any updates from AOL let me know on or off list. Dustin -----Original Message----- From: R.

FWIW, that may just be generic advice from AOL, and not specific to the problem they are having. For at least a year or two, AOL has used the lack of a reverse DNS entry to penalize E-mail as part of their "secret" (undocumented) anti-spam system. The lack of a reverse DNS entry by itself won't cause an E-mail to be deleted by AOL, but it is used as part of their anti-spam formula (along with the publicly documented system at http://postmaster.info.aol.com , which bounces E-mail rather than deleting it). -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
