Re: Are AOL's MXs mass rejecting anyone else's emails?

Just a suggestion, but make sure that your mail servers have the correct reverse DNS. AOL has been rejecting mail for 
any mail servers that have incorrect or no reverse DNS entries.

-------------- Original message -------------- 


We're currently getting this from AOL MX servers: 



64.12.138.57 failed after I sent the message. 

Remote host said: 554-: (RLY:FA) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554r 
lyfa.html 

554 TRANSACTION FAILED 



Yet, after viewing their alleged reason for rejecting the mail, we can find 
nothing wrong with our mail headers. Wondering if this is a bug on AOL's s 
ide or if anyone else has encountered/fixed this issue to stop the bouncing 
mail?
