WTF. This IP is NOT dynamic. The client has had it for about two years.
What is the IP address they are rejecting ?
Unless AOL is downloading the entire routing pools from all ISPs on a daily basis, how do they know which IPs are dynamic and which are static;)
What would BGP tables tell you about internal routing and DNS ?

It's 216.161.123.79 IP does match forward and reverse. As a few others have mentioned, the mail server behind their firewall is handling outbound mail only. It pops their inbound mail from another source. We've chosen this solution due to how their membership database is integrated with the address books in their Exchange server and due to the limitations that their mail service provider has put on them--not to mention the fact that their mail service provider has been unstable in the past for sending. Internet service provided is great, they just can't do mail well. I've got an external server I can relay through if need be--and since their IP _IS_ static, it's not really a problem. It just ticks me off because I know there are a lot of others who will be in this boat. -- -- -Susan -- Susan Zeigler | Technical Services szeigler@spindustry.com | Spindustry Systems 515.225.0920 | "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong." -- Abraham Lincoln **************************************************************** Spindustry Systems, Inc.
