mail and AOL don't like each other

[Tom Brokaw]

I've searched and tried most of the recommendations, but i still can't get my site to send mail to AOL. I only need to send text mail. These are the headers that i'm setting in my script. It was taken from php.net mail() page.

  $headers .= 'From: name<'.$from.'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'Reply-To: name<'.$from.'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'Return-Path: name<'.$from.'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'Message-ID: <'.$now.'@'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'>'.$eol;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP v'.phpversion().$eol;

can anyone shed some light? maybe i'm missing something?

I assume you got POP3 and SMTP access with your hosting. Use your favorite mail client to send mail from your domain, through your host's SMTP server, to an AOL address. You may get a bounce with a useful message.

i just got a email to my servers email address because the email to aol has taken longer than 24 hours. Reason: reverse dns not setup.

Now you know the problem
