AOL refusing mail - PROBLEM FOUND (maybe)

How do you Auth with ASPEmail? I thought that was a "premier" function, and we only have the free version installed....?

i didnt mean that i use ASPmail (and not aspEmail either!) with auth - i am just comparing CDO wuth auth, to ASPmail without.
 
follow up on this issue not sure if support has made any changes - but CDOSYS seems to be going MUCH faster now.

cool!!

I just hope the recipients are all getting the mails :)
 
If anyone rejects the email based on no rDNS (which sucks) then you'll get a bounce-back to the address in your From field.

yep, i know - it actually stops the whole mail-out. i have tried with on error resume next and it seems to work ok.
 
That would be another problem entirely... only an issue with your code or the mail server would cause an actual code error. Getting a bounce back form another mail server still means your mail was sent successfully.

Thats what i thought too, but support tells me otherwise. seems to reflect in action too.
 
Antic, bounces can also occur at SMTP session itself, so it is not necessary that the message was indeed able to get to remote mail queue. CDOSYS may error out at this point, as the local SMTP queue is not involved. I'm not sure as i havent tested this myself, but it seems to working fine for snooper.

Snooper, i also asked to log the email for which script is generating an error. If you are doing so and can test these emails, you may have a better idea of the issue.

It's the most reliable way of sending email on Windows system. I you're on a linux system then I can't help. But if you're coding on Windows, refer to this:

See the part almost 1/2 way down about authentication. That's what you need to do to get around AOL.
 
I use authentification on my sites & have instructed my clients to do the same.
The bounce was from an email sent directly from webmail using sqwebmail to aol. It bounced from a guy i have been corresponding to for months.
Just tested & mail got thru though.
 
Do we have any updates about this issue? i can't send any personal email to any aol users from any email client. the return message of course, looks like this:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at cp.m****here.biz.
