interesting articles. realisically, as i have some business domains on my server, i cannot prevent users from receiving email from aol et. al. accounts. furthermore, i have to use a friend's open relay as smarthost to get aol-bound email off my server.
is there no other way to stop aol et. al. from blocking dynamic IPs? At Tuesday, 16 December 2003, "Karsten M.
