	On a side note, AOL is probably blocking mail from slashdot.org
(and a number of other Exodus/CW.net customers). AOL only accepts mail
from servers with a valid reverse lookup. Exodus' DNS delegations bounce
via a CNAME that according to at least one AOL tech "Isn't good enough".

$ host slashdot.org
slashdot.org has address 66.35.250.150
$ host 66.35.250.150
150.250.35.66.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 150.0/24.250.35.66.in-addr.arpa.
150.0/24.250.35.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer slashdot.org.
