<DIV><BR></DIV>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey folks, have any of you had issues with
blocked/returned AOL.com destined email sent from smtp servers on SWBell DSL
lines?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2> I know this isn't exactly a Linux
topic, but I figured some of you may have been affected by this.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have two Austin clients that can't send
any email to AOL email addresses... that's a real problem when
half the </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2> country seems to use
AOL.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2> ...anyhow, after doing the usual
he-said-she-said song-and-dance with SWBell, ASI and AOL I discovered that
</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>SWBell sent a list of 500 or so
"suspicious" IPs to AOL. Suspicious meaning smtp relaying problems were
"known" to exist on these servers. Well, my clients don't relay
mail and haven't been sending spam. According to AOL, the heart of the matter
is that SWBell actually has the smtp relaying problems on their own
server. ...not the necessarily 500 or so customers they</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Pimped out to AOL.... What?
...Huh? ..when does this start to make sense? Now I've got clients
that can't communicate with their clients... and a bunch of multinational
conglomerates pointing their slimy Draconian fingers at each
other. I hate this part of the job.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Is Anyone else experiencing this crapola?</FONT>
