The only thing nice I can say is that AOL at least gives good explanations as to why your message is rejected or delayed. It's better than nothing anyway. I find it very interesting to note that of all the very large domains I send mail to (msn, yahoo, gmail, aol), only AOL seems to cause such problems. It's hard to say whether one's system actually works better than another's, but my personal Yahoo account gets a lot of spam very little of which gets through. The other day as I was reviewing mail coming into my servers I noticed that aol.com was not being forged like the others, and I do remember when it used to be one of the most popular. I wonder if that's related to their turning SPF on or what. Interesting though. Corey
