A friend of mine has just had his employer’s Exchange server blacklisted by AOL, meaning anything from or to an aol address won’t go through. This often happens when people mistakenly flag legitimate mail as Spam in their AOL client or you leave your mail server as an Open Relay, opening a nice gateway for spammers.
Check for Open Relay
To check your Mail Server for Open Relay, go here: http://www.checkor.com
If you have an open relay fix it ASAP. You should always enable some kind of authentication on your mail servers! (POP or SMTP auth is usually sufficient)
Remove from AOL Blacklist
To find out how to remove your mail server from the AOL blacklist (and get yourself on their whitelist) check out http://postmaster.aol.com/
Please delist the above URL at IP 71.128.140.225 from your mail blacklist. There was an infected workstation and it is no longer there.
OUTGOING IP’s ARE- 63.107.184.197 AND 207.17.188.4
I NEED TO GET OFF THE BLACKLIST PLEASE
Coby, Ed: I can’t take IPs off the blacklists. You need to do it yourself. That’s why I linked to the de-list page on my blog post.
