AOL seems to be blocking half of the world's mail server...
- AOL blacklists IPs that don't even send spam. Scenario, you have an e-mail account that receives spam, you have your-email@yourdomain.com and that address is forwarding all e-mails to your-email@aol.com. When you report an incoming message as spam, AOL reports it as YOUR mailserver as the spammer. They are quick to blacklisting that mailserver, and if your host isn't quick about getting that delisted, you lose out on a ton of e-mails.
AOL doesn't care simply because they lower the amount of spam, and when they tell that to their clients, it makes their clients happy. Little do they know that the clients are missing out on a lot of legit e-mails as well.
