I have been getting numerous bouncebacks from aol.com
Reason: SMTP error from remote mailer after initial connection:
host mailin-03.mx.aol.com [205.188.156.249]: 554-(RLY:B1) The
information presently available to AOL indicates this
554-server is generating high volumes of member complaints from AOL's
554-member base. Based on AOL's Unsolicited Bulk E-mail policy at
554-http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html AOL may not accept further
554-e-mail transactions from this server or domain. For more

SECOND: I have been receiving numerous emails to wra@arbbuthnot.freeserve.co.uk [delete the second b

and just_about_anything@arbbuthnot.freeserve.co.uk

AOL (Tel: 001 703 265 4670) tell me it is something they will only sort out
with the Freeserve email server administrators.
Freeserve tell me to email them by email to custumer-support@freeserve.com
It is stunningly obvious that Aol is fed up with freeserve not preventing this happening. So Aol is seeking to exert pressure on freeserve. I don't know what Aol expects freeserve to do. But Aol also allows spammers through - or maybe people hijack or use aol addresses. I am not convinced that the messages aol is ostensibly bouncing back are not being allowed through. Maybe they are. Certainly I get bounce messages on emails that actually make it to their destination. Nevertheless it is disconcerting.
