From an e-mail sent today by the main IT guy on campus:
We have become aware of a problem with outgoing email to any email account associated with AOL. AOL has tagged the OKBU.EDU domain as sending spam to AOL accounts. They are currently blocking all incoming email from our domain. We are working to correct this issue and will keep you informed. AOL's site lists the problem as follows:
There is at least one domain in your email that is generating substantial complaints from AOL members. AOL blocks emails that contain domains that may have been previously used to send unsolicited email or inappropriate content such as personal information solicitations. These blocks mainly target clickable links, but may also block non-clickable domains.
As you can see, AOL's determination to block email from our domain may be due to issues outside of my control. We have initiated contact with AOL to determine the cause and to attempt to rectify the problem. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to get this fixed.
QED, folks. QED.
