Here is the list of the time stamps and the IP addresses which are obviously NOT blacklisted: 11:21 EDT [64.12.207.164] 11:35 EDT [205.188.105.143] 12:03 EDT [64.12.207.164] note this one is the same as the 11:21 message. 12:17 EDT [205.188.105.146] 12:47 EDT [205.188.91.96] 13:08 EDT [205.188.91.97] 13:19 EDT [64.12.206.40] If the bounces you are receiving include the full headers of the bounced message, check them for the line that says Received: from imr-ma02.mx.aol.com (imr-ma02.mx.aol.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]) by mail.rootsweb.com The xxx address will be different from any of those listed above and is the one being blocked. As Joan said, it is the luck of the draw which server AOL chooses to send your mail. As Judy said, it like a football receiver stepping out of bounds. He can't carry the ball to the end zone for the touchdown. You must run the play again until you reach a server that is able to complete the play and deliver the mail. Pat Asher
