[NTLUG:Discuss] AOL Rejecting Mail and Sendmail

[jeremyb@univista.com]

 I recommend setting up dynamic DNS.  AOL,  and many other smtp servers,
won't block the
server if it's IP resolves to a "valid" domain name.   That's not to say
that you don't
already have a valid domain name with you DHCP lease but I think you get the
picture.

Hi All,

I've run into a bit of a problem with AOL rejecting mail from my server
here at 
home.  It seems that AOL, in its infinite wisdom has decided to start
blocking 
mail from ip addresses that it deems to be residential dynamic ips.
This now 
seems to include my ip from Comcast.

I know that in sendmail I can set a smart relay and forward all my mail
to 
Comcast, but I would like to find out if there's a way to configure
sendmail to 
send only mail destined for aol.com to Comcast's mail server for
delivery.

Any ideas?

Ed
