The irony. AOL is blocking my emails.

[flot]

So how ridiculous is this? I run my own linux mail server... and now I can't send emails to AOL!

This is absurd. I can't send email to my #%(^& grandmother anymore. Stupid worthless AOL.

(if I was an open relay, it would be one thing - but they are rejecting me because my linux server resides on a "dynamic" IP...)

BUHAHAHAHA. Man, that's rich. I've got AOL blocked outright. My reject reply message on my mail server is: "550: Email Deleted. Your ISP sucks. Get a real one." 😀

Damn!

Thankfully I don't email anyone on AOL. Though I couln't send email to earthlink for the same reason.
