AOL Postmaster and IP Reputation

So you’re mailing AOL and everything’s going great… You decide it’s time to check your IP reputation and your first stop is the AOL Postmaster page… right?

WRONG! Avoid using this tool at all costs. Inside sources say using this tool is a sure way to have your IP ranges manually checked by a real life postmaster.  Eeek!

It could take hours, days, weeks… but the truth is, unless you want your IP space under scrutiny, stay away from this AOL provided tool. It’s Trojan Horse for goodness sake.

Your best bet to see your IP reputation with AOL is to simply mail to your own seed addresses and analyze your delivery logs using Volo. Be safe out there mailers.
