I am still having problems sending emails to aol. I have Windows XP
Professional, IIS obviously, and use my own smpt server for outgoing email.
I am not using an smpt server with my dsl service. Most of my email works
just fine, but my clients and family that use aol are rejected. I get
"Delivery Status Notifcation (Failure)" errors. This is what the log says:

554-+AOL+does+not+accept+e- mail+transactions+from+dynamic+or+reside
ntial 0 0
484 SMTP - - - -

What does that mean, and what does that mean I have to do to get it to work
with AOL. The other parties have already tried all sorts of things with
including spam and including junk mail, so it's not something that's being
rejected by them, it's AOL. And as usual AOL isn't helpful.

Anyone have ideas? Thanks so much for your help.

It means exactly what it says. AOL does not accept email from systems
using dynamic IP addresses or residential accounts. To get it to work
you'll need a static IP address from your ISP.
