A week or so ago, there was a thread about relaying mail to AOL through your
ISP due to AOL silently dropping mail directly from your own server. I'm
having the same problem but cannot get the relaying to work (SIMS 1.8b8).

In the router, I have:
aol.com = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*.stonejongleux.com = stonejongleux.com

When I send to an AOL user, I get the following bounce in return:
   
----------
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: 29 Sep 2001 05:56:17 -0700
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Delivery Status Notification

This message could not be delivered to the following recipients:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

It looks to me like SIMS is sending the message on to my ISP's mail server
(smtp.telocity.com.criticalpath.net) with the envelope-to in percent-hack
form and the ISP's mail server doesn't know how to strip that down to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there some way to make SIMS send the envelope-to as just [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
They will legitimately relay if it's in that form.
