What is the PTR record for your mail server? If you don't have one or if it reads like a residential one then I've heard of that getting blocked. Also be advised you can contact postmaster@aol.net or AOL Postmaster HelpDesk at 1-703-265-4670 or 1- 888-212-5537.

Before you email or call you should try this to verify that you have a PTR and that it doesn't read like a residential. (For example dsl081-214-123.nyc2.dsl.speakeasy.net. )

Ah yeah, we have an ameritech PTR right now (working on that problem as well). I guess I'll have one of my guys call ameritech and complain about the PTR. -------------------------- Brian Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group Open Solutions For A Closed World / Anti-Spam Resources http://www.sosdg.org ICQ: 8077511
