Unhappy My Ip Black-listed?

I was told by AOL that my new IP is black-listed. Therefore I am not able to access AOl users.

How can I find out if this is really true? I have contacted MAPS, but I don't understand the cyber language.

Are you on AOL?
What do you mean by: "not able to access AOl users?"

I live in Mexico and have had a few problems with ISPs blocking all email Telmex in Mexico. The one in Hawaii changed their system but the other two haven't.

Send a message via MSN to doctorgonzo
Complain to your ISP and tell them to fix their settings so that they are no longer an open relay for spam e-mail transmission. That is most likely the problem. If they won't fix it, find another ISP that is more responsible.

Read this from the administrator at another site:

"If just a couple of users at AOL have ever tagged one of your emails as spam, even accidentally, then AOL will blacklist your email address. This is a common problem with AOL, and you will have to contact the tech support department to have your address removed from the filter blocklist."
