AOL blocking all my emails

Any email sent from sendmail gets blocked

[rsgalloway]

Thank you for any help in advance!

Everything sent from my site by sendmail to AOL is blocked. Which includes, if a site user uses my 'send-to-friend' form, or if the sytem sends out an email via sendmail (it's all opt-in users, no spamming what-so-ever, I promise).

What can I do to get my site unblocked? Here is one of the emails that got bounced back, all the others are similar. I've checked my Log files and the only bounced emails are coming from AOL, I get at least three or four per day.

Is it possible they've banned mails from your server due to complaints from users? Not saying you deserve it, just saying maybe it's a possibility...
If this is the case you could try to get AOL to unblock you but I think you'd have better luck sending mail from a different server or changing the domain name of the server or something like that.

Apparently you're much more observant than the rest of us jdMorgan ;)

Oh jeez, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks, jdMorgan.

And, btw - this is a dedicated server that the mail is coming from, and no, I don't spam at all.
