AOL blocking Cox IPs

[Bart Garst]

In last months discussion list archive there is a thread that might be of
help.

Subject: exim config.

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?
