Re: [Mailman-Users] AOL now bouncing ALL email from ALL mailman systems

Well actually this is part of their new MIME filtering. We have a web log reporting engine that makes some positively huge email's with MIME encoded charts and other images. AOL barf's continually on these while it lets other MIME encoded traffic from us to the same person(s) go right on through.

Just another case of the total ineptitude present at AOL.

I've heard that this particular message is an obscured content-based
rejection message.  Perhaps your message was discussing something they
didn't like, or perhaps they've banned mail referencing some
particular domain.

did that message include reference to a web site via IP address
instead of name?  they'll block those, too.

My logs show message flowing just fine from Mailman to AOL at 9:24 am
US Eastern Time, with the VERP'd return addresses.
