Is anyone else noticing new AOL lameness that when you send an e-mail to an AOL user and if the e-mail has a URL in it but the reverse lookup of that url doesn't come back to that domain name that AOL's postmaster rejects it and gives you this URL: http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvuip.htmlThis has to be new policty for them because it never rejected them before...
That seems pretty unlikely (as it would break every email mentioning a virtual hosted website), and the URL you link to says nothing of the sort (it says "Don't use dotted-quads in URLs unless you want to look like Atriks, doofus."). Do you have some data suggesting that this is actually happening? Cheers, Steve
