Hi all For whatever it's worth, ever since AOL started their new anti spam program, getting email to them is a horror show.

Just as an FYI on this old issue, Comcast does the same thing. We have a client who is actually running on a broadband connection with a persistant DHCP public IP address. Mail started bouncing from AOL and Comcast right away (among some others). We ended up using a smart host to resolve the problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 11:06 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Anyone else having trouble with AOLs new SPAM rules? How would AOL know that your IP address is dynamic? There's no flag in DNS or anywhere else that says your IP address is dynamic. Methinks they're looking at reverse DNS entries.

I have architected for Fortune 10s... but this time I have a small server on a home network. I use DynDNS.ORG to update the A and MX records. AOL has just instituted a new policy rejecting any email server coming from a dynamic IP address. I have emailed them asking about this but I know they will respond with something like "We are attempting to reduce SPAM"... even though I reject SPAM on my server's SMTP connector based on IP because SPAMmers typically use the same ISPs and static IP addresses... and there are only a handful of ISPs that allow spammers knowingly. Anyone else had problems with this lately... or more importantly found a way around it (other than getting/paying for a static IP address)? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
