Re: My email is rejected by some sites
interesting articles.
realisically, as i have some business domains on my server, i cannot
prevent users from receiving email from aol et. al. accounts. furthermore,
i have to use a friend's open relay as smarthost to get aol-bound
email off my server.
is there no other way to stop aol et. al. from blocking dynamic IPs?
