Hi,

I took a look at an dns report and it reports no errors on the reverse
lookup. I also talked to the people at aol. They said that it is user
setting that put things into there bulk mail, and there was nothing that
they could do about it. Also, one of the oal users told me that there was
nothing in the from or to fields of the email. What could cause this?

I do have some of the emails that bounced (non are from aol though) and
they give the reason it was bounced:

Disallowed characters found in MIME headers
or
Nonstandard SMTP line terminator. (in reply to end of DATA command)

Could this be these error be the reason that I am having so much problems
sending emails to aol?

Thanks,
Al
