Subject: [Exim] problem with email to aol.ca
Just a note to see if I am on the right track.

I had a customer who's email wouldn't travel to aol.ca.

I looked in my logs and find that I get an immediate "connection
refused" from aol.ca

After putting a trouble ticket in to aol, they advise that aol.com
handles email for aol.ca.

When doing a dig on aol.ca I find _no_ MX record for them, just an 'A'
record which points to www.aol.ca

No wonder I get a disconnect ;-/

The tech at aol tells me I should coax my mail server to speak to
aol.com

This is bogus is it not? Can someone confirm that their (aol) DNS really
is incorrect, and in need to fixing _rather_ than my MTA ?
