Aol has blacklisted a client of mine. I am trying to setup a FBL (Feedback Loop) so I can get information on their issue.
I needed to add abuse@domain1.com to the whois information for the domain. Now they wnat me provide proof of ip ownership.
The issue is that the ip address of the email server is a server that hosts email fro multiple domains. AOL has 5 methods to prove ip ownership but I cannot figure out which is easiest and would work.
P Ownership:
The FBL process must be able to establish that the FBL applicant has a right to receive abuse complaints for the IP(s) in the submitted request. To establish IP ownership, one of the following five criteria must be met. Please note that if you use a subdomain in your FBL email address, that subdomain must be shared to satisfy the selected requirement below.
- The reverse DNS for each IP shares the FBL domain (including the subdomain, if used).
- A valid example would be:
FBL email address is: aolfbl@accounting.aol.com192.168.1.1 resolves to mailserver1.accounting.aol.com192.168.1.2 resolves to mailserver2.accounting.aol.com - The domain WHOIS for each IP's RDNS contains the FBL email domain (including the subdomain, if used). The domain may appear in any of the listed email addresses.
- At least one authoritative nameserver for each IP shares the FBL email domain (including the subdomain, if used).
- A valid example would be:
FBL email address is: aolfbl@accounting.aol.com192.168.1.1 authoritative nameserver is ns1.accounting.aol.com192.168.1.2 authoritative nameserver is ns1.accounting.aol.com - The IP WHOIS information for each IP contains the FBL email domain (including the subdomain, if used). The domain may appear in any of the listed email addresses.
- A valid example would be:
FBL email address is: aolfbl@abuse.aol.com192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 IP WHOIS contains the line: OrgAbuseEmail: abuse@abuse.aol.com - The ASN WHOIS information for each IP contains the FBL email domain (including the subdomain, if used). The domain may appear in any of the listed email addresses.
- A valid example would be:
FBL email address is: aolfbl@abuse.aol.com192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 ASN WHOIS contains the line: OrgAbuseEmail: abuse@abuse.aol.com
