Heads up - AOL seems to block Gmail

Technical details of permanent failure:
TEMP_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 421-: (RLY:CS4)
http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/421rlycs4.html
421 SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE

Here's the explanation from the above URL:

EXPLANATION:

This error message indicates that your email has been identified as coming from a server or web site that may have a compromised script or program available.

SOLUTION:

Please contact the server administrator or hosting provider for additional assistance.

Providers: This error message will allow the offending emails to stay in your mail queue. This will give you the opportunity to look at the offending mail, which should assist you in tracking down the compromised script.


=====================
I don't think I'm the only person experiencing this. Any idea on how this can be fixed? Good luck, folks.

May I suggest something?

The colors of your blog are quite hard to read in my opinion.
Both the white and black text on the grey background put quite some strain on my eyes when I read the posts.

I would suggest to increase the contrast a little bit.

Best regards

Not sure if this is related to the problem you have identified, but AOL was reported to have stopped delivery of email yesterday, but claimed that they were queuing it up for delayed delivery. Here's an article from USA Today on the corporate line from AOL.

It is most likely that the site where you send email from is on the aol spam list. Your email program may have an option to allow or disallow sites.
