I've seen where AOL recently (past 2 weeks) will temporarily suspend accepting bulk (mailinglists) email for up to 3 hours due to suspected spam, even from whitelisted IPs. All queued email eventually flows, presumably after being verified by humans. No related SCOMP/TOS notifications are ever returned indicating that all recipients liked what they got. -Jim P.

I have a client who is experiencing problems with sending mail to AOL. I am not resposible for their email service (yet) but I'd like to know if AOL has changed their policy on anti-spam / mail receipt for their customers (RBL, SORBS, rDNS validation), or if there's a real problem with AOL inbound mail for the past 2-3 days. thanks -e-
