AOL mail users will be suffering an inability to receive mail currently.
This is due to them rejecting mail from almost all of our relay servers.
Work is under way to bring up IP's specifically to solve this issue.
This is due to two main issues:
1) AOL clients with domains set to catch all or forward that are marking
junk mail they are then receiving;
2) Clients with insecure web forms that are being used to send bulk mail
are either not securing their forms, or simply are not aware.
This is a tricky area both legally and technically as the likes of
Spamhaus are more than aware. We we have already taken steps to resolve
these issues through these mediums.
In the meanwhile - AOL users, check you are not blacklisting us (thus
shooting yourselves in the foot) and those with web mail could do worse
than referring to Google and the likes of <a
