You are running a Dynamic IP which will not pass the Reverse DNS lookup many email servers (including mine) will do when you attempt to send it. > > I'm not saying that AOL is wrong for this, as I'm sure a ton of SPAM > comes from people running mail servers inside their own house. They aren't wrong anymore than most of the rest of us ISPs are. The hits from a certain Cable Company in Bejing would astound you.
