Are these bounces coming from messages that you sent?

If the domain from which you're sending doesn't provide something called
Reverse DNS Lookup, AOL, etc., may refuse the message, Tom.

Well, I solved it myself by purchasing a SMTP account from

It cost $15 for a one-time fee to get use of their SMTP server and it
solved
my problems with AT&T. It is also noticably faster! All I had to do was
change the SMTP server in the OE account and change the Port to 26 and it
works great.

But, about AOL and CS arbitrarily rejecting an entire domain, do you thnk
they have decided to reject ALL Worldnet.att.net addresses? I really
don't
care any more since I got the new SMTP server but it's amazing that they
would do that.

AOL, which also runs cs.com and netscape.com, sometimes arbitrarily
rejects mail from an entire domain. This may have happened to att.net.
If that's the case, staff at att.net will have to resolved the problem
with AOL. AOL probably isn't interested in hearing from you.

I am getting LOTS of bounces with the following Subject line: Returned

Here is a sample from

The following addresses had delivery problems:

I tried to email the Postmaster at AOL and also CS and they also got
rejected. I called AT&T and they said their service was operating
normally
and I called the local outfit and they have not returned my call yet.
