We are having problems delivering email to our newsletter subscribers with aol.com addresses. We have Imail 7.06. We have a custom application (written in ColdFusion) that creates the newsletter as an individual email to each subscriber. ColdFusion sends these emails to the Imail server in bursts of 100. Imail sends what it can and queues the rest. We have the proper DNS records for our host (list.vacationstogo.com).
Some of the aol emails work fine, others have problems and are re-queued. Eventually some do not get delivered after the retry limit is reached. Here are some snippets from my log file. Any help would be appreciated. - John Example of successful delivery -------------------------------------------------------------- processing C:\IMail\spool\Q5de41ba.SMD Trying aol.com (0) Connect aol.com [152.163.224.122:25] (1) 220-rly-zd01.mx.aol.com ESMTP mail_relay_in-zd1.3; Wed, 15 May 2002 09:09:14 -0400 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. >EHLO list.vacationstogo.com 250-rly-zd01.mx.aol.com list.vacationstogo.com 250 HELP >MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 OK >RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 OK >DATA 354 START MAIL INPUT, END WITH "."
