I used to reject mail based on that as
well, but it was catching way too much legit mail. You are all correct, I do not have a
reverse ptr entry. I use Logalot, and it doesn’t
display the messages AOL is sending back. I spent over an hour on the phone with
Somix and ended up turning Imails logging back on instead of using the
Application log. And voila! Clear as day AOL is sending
this to us: 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155)
220-rly-yi06.mx.aol.com ESMTP mail_relay_in-yi6.6; Thu, 24 Feb 2005 10:10:26

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Matrosity Tech Support I would love to reject mail based on that but there
are too many mail admins that don't have reverse PTR's I should have added this; http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=hardwarespecialty.com it will help you correct your reject

Message----- Hi All, Does anybody have
any ideas why AOL would start bouncing all of our email? We haven’t
made any changes to our server settings, mx records, etc. in quite a while. Regards, Roland |
