That's why I (at work) have a hot mailserver off to the side to become a smart host for AOL mail. I'll be damned if I'll wait to get out of their list if they wish to play them games <G>
Yup, I have a dedicated server that gets all outbound aol, yahoo, or hotmail traffic. Hotmail hasn't given me this pain, but yahoo has. And, as we're all discussing aol definitely does.
And I basically don't try to finesse that server at all. If aol is being a pain, and someone complains that "mail to aol is taking a long time", I basically tell them "that's what you get for talking to aol".
It's not worth our time to try to diagnose nor fix aol's brain damage. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
