[KLUG Members] issues with AOL

[Patrick Stockton]

Well don't get me started on this mail server....it's an inherited Exchange
server where the only way to get it to reboot is to physically remove the
power cord.  The person who set up this exchange server is especially proud
of herself and feels that this is a crowning achievement in her system admin
life.

knowing absolutly NOTHING about advanced Exchange administration (and
obviously out of the scope of this list) i wouldn't know where to begin to
look for open relay settings.
