Re: Still AOL trouble...

Emmanuel-

Your Post.Office set up is setup as an open relay - AOL (and many other
ISPs) will end up blocking mail from your site if this is the case. You need
to close all open relay points and then go to AOL's relay site and have them
retest you to get them to allow mail from you again.

You need to restrict all Relay mail - specifically, do not enable "Local
Mail Domains" or allow the IP address of your mail server to relay mail.
Those are known open relay spots that AOL will check.

What I have enabled on the Restrict Mail Relay setup is:

In general, restrict relay mail except as indicated below:

And then I've enabled a few IP addresses at work, but NOT the mail server.

Then nothing else is checked until:

No domain except those listed below:

And I've enabled Local Mail Domains

In addition, I have Pop-Before-SMTP enabled so users can login, check mail,
and then be ready to send mail.

AOL should have sent you an email to the Postmaster address through your own
server - this was their test to see if you're an open relay or not. That
email address gave you directions on what to do about the open relay and how
to get them to retest after you've fixed the open relay areas. I know, I've
had this happen a few times to me by AOL - but I've always fixed the problem
before their 5 day grace period.

Hope that helps.
