AOL Not Receiving Email

  • I have been trying to fill out a form on a client website to test for mail delivery. I set it up using Contact Form 7 and it was working fine until about a week ago. Email sends fine to my business email, not to Yahoo and not to AOL.

    I created a new form using Gravity Forms and it sends fine to both my business email and Yahoo, but not to AOL.

    I was hoping this plugin would do the trick, and again it sends fine UNLESS I try to send it to AOL. I at least this time created a noreply@ email and was able to capture the header of the rejected email and my host gave me the log code showing that the email was delivered.

    Of course AOL says everything is fine on their end. I can email back and forth with this client using AOL.

    I am hoping that with the header and the log, my client will be able to get to the bottom of things, but I wonder if there’s anything else on this end that can be done.

    So I changed the Outgoing Mail Server in Postman from [email protected] to mail.westernoregonoutfitters.com and ran a test email. It failed and I got this message: Could not read from mail.westernoregonoutfitters.com

    Re-run the wizard or use these settings: 

    Authentication: Plain
Security: TLS (STARTTLS)
Outgoing Mail Server Hostname: mail.westernoregonoutfitters.com
Outgoing Mail Server Port: 587

    That gives me Incorrect authentication data

    So this is where I ask the client for his password…

    If you created [email protected], shouldn’t you have the password?

    Oh… I was using aol.com …

    Let’s recap.
    Authentication: Plain
    Security: TLS (STARTTLS)
    Outgoing Mail Server Hostname: mail.westernoregonoutfitters.com
    Outgoing Mail Server Port: 587

    Authentication Username: [email protected]
    Password: *******

    Sent test email to myself, it went through.

    Contact Form 7
    To: ****@aol.com
    From: [email protected]
    Additional headers: Reply-To: [your-name] <[your-email]>

    Sent test via CF7 … client has not received them.

    can you send a test from Postman to my email? I’d like to inspect the headers.

    Hope I sent it to the right email address…

    Your Postman settings are perfect. Your email headers are all good:

    Received-Spf: pass (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates 67.222.33.93 as permitted sender) client-ip=67.222.33.93;
    X-Identified-User: {7750:rsb21.rhostbh.com:westesm7:westernoregonoutfitters.com} {sentby:smtp auth 173.254.100.84 authed with [email protected]}

    Can you put my email in the Contact Form TO: and send a test here as well.

    Done

    That was perfect as well. There’s nothing left for you to do.

    I assume you’ve double-checked the AOL email address itself for mistakes?

    I don’t use AOL so I can’t comment on their service, but the last possibility is they may maintain a blacklist and Bluehost or your IP may be on it. But that’s just a guess.

    Copy/pasted the email address and have sent many emails back and forth with him.

    Ok. Thanks so much for your hard work and patience.

    I will have my client check into that.

    NP. Sorry I couldn’t resolve it fully. But I would say the fault lies with AOL now.
