OK, I should clarify this. The description that is on that link I put in my original e-mail doesn't actually describe what is happening, but that is the error they spit back at me. What really is happening is that the url that is in my e-mail and when you reolve it to an IP, if you do a reverse lookup on that IP, it comes back with a generic DNS entry that my colo provider has assigned to it. So the issue seems to be that the reverse DNS entry and the domain name don't match. But this isn't really an issue, a lot of providers do it this way. But why is AOL being lame with this? -Mike On 10/2/06, Matt Baldwin <baldwinmathew(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, I'm noticing this too. Very lame indeed.

swiss (zurich) colocation recommendations for a US company...
by Jason Arnaute 04 Oct '06

I am doing a bit of expansion into Europe and simply need a good datacenter in Zurich where I can put in a single 1u piece of equipment (for now). I got a quote from init7.net for $400 for the 1u equipment and 5 mbps, or $300 for 2 mbps. Is this a reasonable cost of doing business in switzerland, or am I not finding a good low cost provider ? If not, any suggestions on a high quality, well connected place in Zurich that I could put a single 1u piece of equipment ? Any other comments/suggestions appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

AOL Lameness

Is anyone else noticing new AOL lameness that when you send an e-mail to an AOL user and if the e-mail has a URL in it but the reverse lookup of that url doesn't come back to that domain name that AOL's postmaster rejects it and gives you this URL: http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvuip.html This has to be new policty for them because it never rejected them before... Ugh. -Mike

Makes 'em look bad... > I'm sure they love FCC for that :-) It depends on what type of providers you're talking about. Even with ILECs, there're regulated (FCC reportable) and unregulated (not required to report to the FCC) services. You'll never get providers to say to your list, "Yep, we had problems. Here's the list of them." It'll never happen. > ..you may I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one :-) Maybe if I had a beer I'd be a dreamer and that'd make sense... scott
