The above is wrong. the fwd and reverse do not have to match, you do however need a ptr. There are more and more big isp's requiring this. I know Comcast will reject mail also if there is no rdns entry. Again though it does not have to match.

Since I did not see the original message I cannot comment on this except to say that I have found aol to be one of the easiest to get large qtys. of legit email into provided you follow ALL of their rules. All of which are documented on the postmaster page. Regards, Tom Diehl tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx Spamtrap address mtd123@xxxxxxxxxxxx
