AOL 550 your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons

Cannot sent mail to AOL, check this out to determine why you cannot.

Most often I see people are asking how to go by not being able to send mail to some certain domains while any other domain accepts e-mails from their mail servers.When most of the servers won't accept e-mails from any domain, most of the time they give the reason back to the senders and telling the sender what the reason is The NRD reposts normally indicates or lead the exchange administrator to the clue why the destination server was rejected or not accepted such mail from sender SMTP domain.Here is the example of the NDR came from AOL 550 your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this gateway. Reasons for rejection may be related to content such as obscene language, graphics, or spam-like characteristics (or) other Reputation problems.

Fair enough we get the explanation from the AOL support page

550 "username" Is Not Accepting Mail from This Sender This error indicates that the AOL Member has configured his account, possibly inadvertently, to only accept mail from certain addresses and/or domains on the Internet. Using Mail Controls he will have to modify those settings to receive mail from you. AOL Postmaster cannot override these Member defined settings. We respect Member's privacy and their ability to control their own mail. Postmaster cannot forward the mail for you

Telnet 192.168.1.100 25 (replace the IP address I used here to recipient mail server Public IP)
