I’m in contact with our ISP now to get this resolved.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff (Lists) Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 11:09 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] AOL is bouncing our email   Domain registration providers DO NOT PROVIDE PTR records. Impossible. Only the authoritive zone for the IP address range can. That is generally the ISP unless they delegate that.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Tech Support Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2005 7:41 AM To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] AOL is bouncing our email   btw - I suggest you move your dns to someone that does support reverse dns entries. A company with as many customers as AOL  that is moving in this direction will allow the rest of us to follow. :) Roland Sickenberger wrote: 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 -0500 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 220-America Online (AOL) and its affiliated companies do not 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 220-     authorize the use of its proprietary computers and computer 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 220-     networks to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited bulk 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 220-     e-mail sent from the internet.  Effective immediately:  AOL 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 220-     may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 220      have no reverse-DNS (PTR record) assigned. 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) >EHLO hardwarespecialty.com 02:24 10:11 SMTP-(d63f002801a0e155) 250-rly-yi06.mx.aol.com peer name unknown Unfortunately,  we use register.com for our DNS services and they do not allow or support reverse DNS entries.

We haven’t made any changes to our server settings, mx records, etc. in quite a while. Regards, Roland
