1. You did not post the entire log of the communication with AOL servers for that message. What you posted is part of their HELO message. The line that would indicate why the message was rejected is about 5 lines down.
2. Any AV can scan the mail box files, and then it will quarantine or delete them. OUCH! You do not want to be touching the mail box files. You need to scan it right after Imail SMTPD receives the message. There are 4 most used configurations: a) IMGate b) Declude c) MXGuard d) Imail rules and AV and AntiSpam. Many of us use a combination of more than one of those.
3. Since you are posting from a yahoo address and no where else do you post what your domain is, we have no way of helping by testing.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] [mail forum] failed delivery of mail with certain domains...
1st question...
About 6 weeks ago, we noticed our Imail Server (V. 8.05HF3) server was set to open-relay and hence, were black-listed. We've long since resolved that issue but certain domains (particularly AOL.com and Yahoo.com) constantly reject all our mail. I looked at the log file and tried to make sense out of it. Here's what I get from AOL...
20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) Trying aol.com (0)
20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) Connect aol.com [64.12.137.152:25] (1)
20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) 220-rly-xi04.mx.aol.com ESMTP mail_relay_in-xi4.10; Fri, 04 Jun 2004 03:37:02 -0400
20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) 220-America Online (AOL) and its affiliated companies do not

20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) 220- e-mail sent from the internet. Effective immediately: AOL
20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) 220- may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which
20040604 005251 127.0.0.1 SMTP (05B42B55) 220 have no reverse-DNS (PTR record) assigned.
Does this mean our Reverse DNS records need to be modified? If so, does this happen through our ISP, who holds all of our MX records? (I think)
2nd question...
Our Imail server has NO 3rd party SPAM protection nor a server based Anti-Virus. What's the most common and effective anti-spam/anti-virus software that works well with Imail V. 8.05HF3 and checks mailboxes rather then flat file scans?
Disclaimer: I'm not a Imail expert. At best, I'd consider myself a novice. If I'm missing the obvious, please accept my apologies and offer me a solution rather then a scolding.
Thanks in advance.
JT
