SYMPTOMS
AOL will not accept mail from servers with a dynamic IP Address.
CAUSE
Dynamic IP address.
RESOLUTION
The solution to this problem is to smarthost mail addressed to AOL via your ISPs SMTP Server. Smarthosting will force mail addressed to AOL to then be passed to your ISPs Mail Server - which will then relay the mail on your behalf.
To do this, please follow this procedure:
1.Open the MailEnable Administration program and select the Postoffices branch under MailEnable Management.
2.Create Postoffice called Smarthosts and add aol.com as a domain under it.
3.Then specify the MX server(s) for your ISPs SMTP server under the domain properties of the aol.com domain.
If unsure of the SMTP Server that is provided by your ISP, contact them or review their web site.
