We just had this same exact thing happen to us, but not by AOL, by Comcast. We have alot of aliases pointing to Comcast email addresses, so my best guess is that one or more of them had enough spam or spam bounces going to them to trigger something. Nobody there could tell me exactly what happened, but after a bunch of calls, the delisted our mail server about 3 days later. In the mean time, we just routed the mail going to comcast through another server. On Sun, 9 Mar 2003 [email protected] wrote: > > On Sun, 9 Mar 2003, E.B.
