Although Michael may have it backwards in explaining what the first received line is, I believe he is correct in that AOL/Compuserve must be checking the received line closest to the subject line. In the last month or so I am no longer able to send to AOL/Compuserve users either, even using my circuit provider's SMTP server as a gateway. However, what is even more bizarre is that I can send to AOL using the SMTP server of a local provider I have a dial-up account with.
My mail server is sitting on a dynamically assigned circuit (can't get anything else where I live), so I'm kinda stuck trying every workaround I can find. I'm not exactly sure what AOL has done, but they must be checking something besides the first received line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Hoyt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 14:11 Subject: [IMail Forum] AOL delivery issues > I have checked the archives and cannot find an answer to this issue.
