Email ISP
March 12, 2009 Posted by KP
Finally, AOL unblocked my new IP, their Feedback Loop Request Form doesn’t seem to work, I joined two times and was approved too, but nothing happened. The unblock was done after I got a personal reply to my direct email request.
Here are some other email ISPs I have dealt with:
1. Hotmail/MSN/Live: They work the same way in terms of IP controlling. The easiest email service to deal with, they unblocked my IP within 24 hours and replied to my request very politely. Only one drawback: I wasn’t able to find their unblock request form, got it from a forum thread after some searching.
2. Bellsouth.net: also quick to respond and take action.
3. Comcast.net: they don’t care.
Before you move to a new server, you should setup reverse DNS first - usually you have to ask your ISP to do it, my current ISP, softlayer, is good, I can do it by myself in the control panel.
If you find your IP was blocked by some email services, the best way should be simply using a different IP (Usually, dedicated sever comes with a few usable IPs), I don’t know why I don’t want to do that way, maybe I want every IP to be clean.
