Ravnwood.com Blocked by AOL


iconIt looks like AOL is blocking emails from my ravnwood.com mail server. They went so far as to accuse me of spamming. (the nerve!) I am considering suing them for making false accusations.

"The information presently available to AOL indicates that this server is being used to transmit unsolicited bulk e-mail to AOL"
Now that AOL is blocking* me, I'm sure this will solve the spam problems for all you AOL users out there. Anyone out there using hosting matters run into this with their mail servers yet?

*For the record, I am able to easily circumvent the block, which goes to show just how competent AOL is at blocking spam.

UPDATE: I got a quick response back from Hosting Matters. Here is what they said:

Unfortunately, AOL has entered some IP ranges into its blocking system incorrectly and blocked a couple of our servers instead of their intended targets. As it happens, we have just received our own block of IPs directly from ARIN and are in the process of switching our servers to these new IPs which will (as a side benefit) take care of the AOL problem. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Further information can be found here:

This probably has a lot to do with AOL 8, which has a 'report spam' button right next to the 'delete'.
One minor slip and ypu've reported the wrong site.
(No I didn't)
