Dale -- ...and then Dale Morris said... % % I have FreeBSD and redhat 7.2 running on my athalon machine. On the % redhat os I am using sendmail configured using the install-sendmail 5.5 % script from freshmeat and on the FreeBSD os I have sendmail installed, % but configured just as it came out of the box. Sending mail to myself % @yahoo.com works fine (both os's), sending mail to my friend @aol.com % seems to bounce on both os's.
How so? What's the bounce message? There are diagnostics; cough 'em up. % % The aol machine is a new windows xp (yeah, I know it sucks) that she % just got. That shouldn't matter (well, aside from her eternal torture and damnation, I mean); AOL catches the mail and then later hands it down to her. I presume, though, that she can get mail from others and it's just mail from you that bounces, right? % % Is there something I have to change in my config files to allow my mail % to get through to aol? I've been using sendmail and linux for the last 2 % years and not had any problem with her address, but now that I think % about it, other aol mails have bounced. Hmmm... It's a long shot if only AOL mail bounces, but you or your ISP might be on a blackhole list. The diags mentioned above will help us figure that out. % % I haven't been checking the list closely, apologies if there's a huge % thread on this that I'm unaware of. No, the huge thread was "what is AOL's SMTP server so I can send mail out through them", and it went on so long because nobody believed the answer was "they don't have one".
