delivering mail to AOL accounts

Here's the situtation:

I'm running two mail servers (one with Eudora WorldMail Server and the other with Internet Anywhere Mail Server) that function awesome when receiving and delivering mail to almost all accounts EXCEPT AOL.

For some odd reason, mail that is sent using our mail server to AOL accounts doesn't ever reach the intended recipient. However, we know it's not because the account doesn't exist because 1)it's my brothers AOL email 2) we don't get a bounceback "Undeliverable" message.

My guess is that somehow you have to register mail servers with AOL so that you become an "authorized" mail server... can anybody confirm this or maybe help me with this?

how does that work? Sending mail to accounts other than AOL work fine.. so I'm guessing the do resolve the same... how do I find out though?

If the address from which the mail is sent is resolved, what IP does it return? And when that IP is resolved, does it return the exact address from which the mail is sent? Some mail servers will reject mail where that is not the case, as an anti-spam measure.

oh well the mail server is sitting on a machine with a different computer IP with the domain IP added on as an extra one.

I think you're right about that anti-spam thing here since the IP of the domain is not the primary IP (the one that's put in the main IP box in network settings in Windows 2000)...

Could this be it?
