I did a check on athe.w6b.servers.com : (assuming the host/helo comes from
there)

host -v -A athe.w6b.servers.com

Query about athe.w6b.servers.com for record types A
Hostname athe.w6b.servers.com maps to address 66.227.14.90
Hostname athe.w6b.servers.com maps to address 66.227.14.90
Found 2 addresses for athe.w6b.servers.com
Checking athe.w6b.servers.com address 66.227.14.90
66.227.14.90 PTR record not found, try again
Checking athe.w6b.servers.com address 66.227.14.90
66.227.14.90 does not exist (Authoritative answer)

I know from experience you will get the same message if there is a problem
with your PTR record. You will get the same information when for w6b.servers
com and servers.com . So since there is no PTR for your host, AOL (and
others) will not accept your connection. I would speak to your site host
about fixing their DNS. BTW: I also noticed there is no MX for athe.w6b
servers.com.

Hello List,

I don't know if this is the correct list where i am posting this issue.

I have problem sending mails to any mailaccount of aol.com, since i am using
exim i decided to post it here..
Here is the log from Exim.
2003-07-14 09:45:34 19c3e2-0005LP-00 <= checkath@???

<checkath@???> D=localuser T=local_delivery
2003-07-14 09:45:34 19c3e2-0005LR-00 Completed

What i found from google for this : host mailin-04.mx.aol.com
[64.12.138.89]: 550 DIRECT CONNECTION FROM DIAL-UP OR DYNAMIC-IP DENIED

Is Aol Rejects Mail from Dail-Up or Dynamic Ips but mine is a Webhosting
server and i do have pool of Static Ips, so what could be the reson?

Please put me on correct path.

Regards,
Tina.
