They're probably blocking you. Have you gotten many scomp complaints recently?...perhaps a big backlog of them that you/your abuse people haven't dealt with? Last time I dealt with AOL blocking us, that was the cause, and the result was mixed. Sometimes we'd get the connection closed as above, sometimes a 550 message telling us we were blocked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
