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.

Subject: [Exim] AOL Rejecting Mails...
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.

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.
