Default OT Help! AOL email problems!

Strange, but for the past week, I cannot reply to MOST people who are on AOL!!!

Sometimes it works, othertimes my return emails get rejected. Any ideas??

I get this error message:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'sp18@aol.com'. Subject 'Re: Item # Account: 'direct.ca', Server: 'shawmail.vc.shawcable.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.7.1 24.85.215.194 SEND ACCESS TO AOL DISABLED: sp18@aol.com', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79


Weird, I had 3 messages constantly rejected this week, and 1 of the 3 just went through, the other 2 were rejected again!

It's AOL. They setup ocasional block lists to help spam. They then screw up on the IP Blocks, and block out an area the size of the US west of the Rockies.

Only one way to fix it.

1. Call all your friends on AOL
2. Tell them to dump the POS service
3. Get them to sign up on ANY other service.

Thanks SID, that is what I suspected .... I tried changing the subject line, etc. weird thing is that sometimes they get through, most often not! Sure glad I'm not an AOL customer or should that be "prisoner"!

Odd, it almost looks like your shaw server is rejecting it. Shaw isnt too much better than AOL at times.

No way. Shaw rocks. Rogers used to suck.
