RE: [Declude.JunkMail] AOL problem or mine?
I did an NSLOOKUP on our servers this morning and mail.aol.com and mail.cs.com are coming up Non-existant Domains mail.compuserve.com resolves. So does that point to them or is it an issue with our DNS servers? Strange That sounds like a problem with your DNS servers (even if they did have DNS problems, your DNS server should only cache a 'does not exist' answer for aol.com for about 10 minutes). I would recommend restarting the DNS server. AOL has apparently had some major mail problems this week, so it may not necessarily be something on your end (they could have 1 DNS server that is returning 'does not exist' answers, for example). -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

The lack of a reverse DNS entry by itself won't cause an E-mail to be deleted by AOL, but it is used as part of their anti-spam formula (along with the publicly documented system at http://postmaster.info.aol.com , which bounces E-mail rather than deleting it). -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] AOL problem or mine?
Our reverse DNS is fine,(checked it on dnsstuff.com) I went to postmaster.info.aol.com and nothing there helped. We are not getting the message from AOL, it appears that it comes from our server after trying to send the message 3 times and failing each time. I haven't had a chance to check the smtp log. Our server has had a noticeable increase in load the last few days as a result of all the attempts and replies I'd suspect. I'll wait till tomorrow and see if the problem still exists. If anyone has any updates from AOL let me know on or off list. Dustin -Original Message- From: R.

It sounds like AOL is having some problems on their end. I would recommend setting IMail to try E-mail more than 3 times, though (unless perhaps you have a long delay between each attempt), as many transient failures can take more than 3 tries before they are fixed (such as in this case). -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
