Hmm.. I just tried telnetting to [a-e].mx.aol.com and [ab].mr.aol.com
(those are what I got back as the MX' for 'aol.com'), and the ONLY one
that did't give connection refused was:
taner@coredump:~ >telnet c.mx.aol.com 25
Trying 198.81.11.32...
Connected to emin28.mx.aol.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 emin28.mail.aol.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.8.5/8.8.5/AOL-2.0.0; Wed, 9 Apr 1997 15:42:15 -0400 (EDT)
hmm.. I just tried it again, and it refused me...
Looks like they may just be overloaded?
