Subject: [exim] Why is AOL banging on my mail server?
Hi --

This afternoon AOL was banging unmercifully on
my mail server for about an hour. In a short
period of time my log file quickly grew to 7
times its usual daily size. I finally blocked
AOL pending a determination as to what was going
on. These were all failed deliveries. I am
appending a few typical entries from the log
file.
Does anyone have any suggestions re what was
going
on and/or any corrective action I should take.

Thanks for any input.
