This is a little off topic but maybe someone else
on this list has seen this. Recently every time anyone tries to send an
email to an aol account they get a message like the following:
Delivery failed 20 attempts: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and for earthlink:
Unknown user: [EMAIL
AOL recently instituted a new policy of not accepting mail from servers with
dynamic IPs. As part of that, they do a reverse DNS and look for dsl,
adsl,dyn, etc and block your mail if one of them shows up. We had dsl
in ours, given to us by our ISP, and even though it's a business DSL line

We have our own DNS servers and are providing reverse entries. Our primary
email server is enterprise.nezperce.org Is there anything in that which AOL
would block?

cannot have reverse entries. Are you saying that because we use private IP
space (as it should be done to preserve IP address space) all our emails
will be blocked by AOL and earthlink? The email server itself has a
I think you jumped one hop too low and grabbed his client IP. His
server IP is 12.17.162.191 and it checks out just fine and matches his

Couple of things I found when we had a HDSL line. AOL and others are
