AOL - email to/from

[Soren]

I get the following message all the time when trying to
email my to AOL accounts - usually my family members from
my office OUTLOOK email account:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status
Notification.
THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.
Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.
[address is supplied]

.. . .then, typically in a few days I get another message:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended
recipients.

Subject: The Public Square
Sent: 4/13/2004 12:03 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

Could not deliver the message in the time
limit specified. Please retry or contact your
administrator.
<sorendc.sorenwest.com #4.4.7>

Unfortunately, I, a 63-year-old sole proprietor, am the
administrator by default. . . .

This did not used to happen and I have no idea why it now
does. I look forward to help. Thanks.

I'm presuming you're using an Exchange server?
AOL has started rejecting mail from a lot of servers in an effort to stop
spam. Some reasons for being blocked would be -

Your SMTP server has no reverse lookup records (PTR)
Your IP is considered to be on a dialup or dynamic IP [1]
Your IP or SMTP server has been blacklisted as an open relay

For the reverse lookup, check out your domain at www.dnsreport.com; ask your
ISP to create the record for you, presuming you have a static IP.

If you don't have a static IP, you can set up an SMTP connector that points
to your ISP's SMTP server & add aol.com there...also might want to do
hotmail.com as I've heard rumors they're starting to do the same thing.

I would ask your email administrator at work about
this. We use Exchange Server at work and have
a "bucket" that this email goes to when there is a
problem. Your email admin will be able to tell you
what the issue is.
