Re: [Mailman-Users] Re: AOL issue
We have had significant issues with AOL's new filters. These filters also seem to attack certain MIME configurations. While we haven't had significant issues with Mailman per se, we have had with our web log reporting engine which builds all those lovely charts and graphs into a MIME encoded message which is large. I'd be looking at those AOL filters as the culprit. To fix Mailman you can probably strip MIME encoding from the messages and resolve the issue... for now, until AOL adds some other moronic feature.

[Mailman-Users] Re: AOL issue
Just saw this today. May not be related, but still something to be aware of. 220-America Online (AOL) and its affiliated companies do not 220- authorize the use of its proprietary computers and computer 220- networks to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited bulk 220- e-mail sent from the internet. Effective immediately: AOL 220- may no longer accept connections from IP addresses which 220 have no reverse-DNS (PTR record) assigned.

If your server is no rumor. they say they do it on their postmaster web site. Actually it says they may reject them. Also says may for IP addresses without PTR record. Since several entries before this say they will not I guess they just throw the dice or something to see what the policy of the day is? And that page has not changed in 5 months, which is really no help at all.
