Private addresses aren't seen on the internet. You can use them in your private network in any way you like, but you aren't allowed to let them appear on the internet; hence they're "private." Your firewall obviously translates your private addresses into one or more assigned addresses, and it's one of those that AOL see. You should visit AOL's web, as per their advice, and read their policy. It's quite reasonable. They make it clear that they don't accept email from residential addresses, and if that's what sort of plan you're on then you should do what AOL expect, namely forward your email to your ISPs mail relay. There's a good reason for AOL's policy, which is to reduce spam. By forcing residential users to send their email via their ISPs you have fewer people to complain to about SPAM, and therefore more leverage. Try telling J. Homie that he's going to be blacklisted for spamming, and he'll likely not understand. Try telling Internode that they're going to be blacklisted for spamming (ie J. Homie, their customer) and J. Homie will hear the immediate echo of "clickkkkk." ---- email "unsubscribe aussie-isp" to m a j o r d o m o @ a u s s i e . n e t to be removed. |
