Greetings,
Just to keep things interesting, this morning AOL has begun rejecting e-mail
from Cox broadband IP addresses. Here's the message:
SMTP error from remote mailer after initial connection:
host mailin-03.mx.aol.com [64.12.138.120]: 554- The IP address you are using
+to connect to AOL is a dynamic (residential)
554- IP address. AOL will not accept future e-mail transactions from this
+IP
554- address until your ISP removes this IP address from its list of dynamic
554- (residential) IP addresses. For additional information, please visit
554 http://postmaster.info.aol.com.
Unfortunately, I'm not in the position simply to say to hell with AOL, as I
need to correspond with people who won't give up their AOL addresses.
Of course, the URL that they give `for additional information' is dead.
So... I think I need to come up with some way to get Exim to relay e-mail. I
assume that however the Windows world does e-mail (getting the MUA to hand off
mail to an offsite SMTP server) will still get through AOL's blocking, but
can't figure out how to configure Exim to do that instead of delivering
directly.
Has anyone gotten together a workaround for this yet?
