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.
