Okay thank you. You can find my public key attached to this mail for
good measure.

Today I spent over an hour trying to resolve the problem. The server’s
IP is blacklisted on AOL for unknown reasons. It doesn’t even accept any
connection; telnetting it will immediately result in a hard reject of
the connection. Thus, any in-mail anti-spam procedures are not even
honoured.

The AOL antiblock process is insanely complicated. You have to complete
dozens of captchas, telnet their servers, email them several mails, add
a special mail account on your server, provide them your phone number,
etc. pp. When you have all done this all they sent you is a short email
that says your request for removal from the blacklist was denied and you
have to put some information into the WHOIS of your domain. WTF I cannot
even do that, this can only my domain registrar do, so now I need to
call them up also. I feel seriously angry about this behaviour.

This nonsense has cost me more than one hour of my valuable time and it
did not even work out, so I have now fed up with AOL altogether. I will
discourage anyone from using this mail provider for sure.

It is worth noticing that the problem does not appear on the TSC
server. This only affects my private mail server.

> You can also send to my personal email server.

Okay, nice to know. Thank you for the info :-)

Vale,
Quintus
