It seems that it simple to get blacklisted by AOL, but all their links to get un-blacklisted or to contact them about it appear to be dead links.

Looks like another reason to avoid AOL.

As most of my important emails now come from forms on this site, I'll just have to setup a system whereby anyone with an AOL email address is asked to refill the form with a different email address.

Can you not send the e-mails from webwiz.net instead?

Also disable notifcations for AOL users as that is most likely to get you blacklisted.

No, it still goes through the webwiz.net mail server.

I tried a number of ways and it seems that AOL have blacklisted everything to do with this site Cry

Did you add a SPF record? Or does your PTR lookup turn out ok?

I haven't added an SPF record as I'm not entirly sure how it works.

Is the SPF record tied to the doamin or mail server?

The domain. See http://www.openspf.org/

Angry WWF is really behind on URLs. Most other forums make URLs hyperlinks automatically

I found that earlier today and added an SPF record for this site.

If you post in IE links are automactically chnaged to hyperlinks in the RTE, but this is not done in Firefox.

More and more email administrators are requiring SPF records in DNS. At the moment I'm having a hard time trying to email @wp.pl addresses. I keep getting rejected. And I've done everything possible to get things working right. The only thing that I haven't been able to do is to get the reverse DNS record to resolve to the domain. Which is rare except for large organizations that lease IPs directly. Cry

It's just a never ending battle...

Hopefully the SPF records will make AOL a bit kinder to you.
