Scott,
This is an list on our IMail server. Therefore the To: part of the header
is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since they do not see @aol.com, they say it is
blank! When they need to be looking at the RCPT TO: for the @aol.com info.
Sincerely,
Grant Griffith, Vice President

You should check to see what they really mean (or said). A domain
can't have "a reverse". A host name can have IP address(es)
associated with it, and an IP address can have a reverse.

That would be a logical spam check. Why are you sending out E-mail
with no To: header? It's kind of like addressing an envelope "To
whom it may concern". That works when on a letter addressed to a
company, but it just doesn't cut it as an address.
> In discussion with this group, they should not require a reverse
They could, but would lose tons of E-mail that way. It could be
part of their now-famous "point system".

Yes, But. The RCPT TO: has to have an AOL address in it, unless
either you are using an AOL mail server to relay (a REALLY dumb
thing to do), or someone's DNS records are mixed up and pointing to
AOL. So you really shouldn't worry about. If they are checking a
"To:" address to make sure it exists (and says aol.com), it would
HAVE to be in the message headers.
