AOL sucks for blocking my emails to AOL customers. From their mail FAQ:

===
504 - (RTR:BB) The IP address you are using to connect to AOL is a dynamic (residential) IP address. AOL will not accept future e-mail transactions from this IP address until your ISP removes this IP address from its list of dynamic (residential) IP addresses. For additional information, please visit http://postmaster.info.aol.com.

In these cases, the mail is being rejected because AOL believes it is being sent directly from someone’s computer, rather than through their ISP’s legitimate mail server, a common sign of malicious or abusive email. This can be fixed by them using a stable, legitimate mail server.

You mean I can’t email my brother because I’m a Gundy rather than a Comcast? Way to turn the WWW into the CPW (crappy proprietary web)! This is just one more reason that AOL totally sucks.
