This problem has been around for about 4 weeks or so. I just gave up, but the 
woman couldn't mail her mom or sister. :( Earthlink has the same SPAM 
'solution.' 
  
 Anyway, here's how to fix if you have qmail. You need to create a file 
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes if it doesn't exist. In it, you need to replace 
smtp.comcast.net shown below with your own ISP's mail server: 
  
  
.aol.com:smtp.comcast.net 
 .pipeline.com:smtp.comcast.net 
 .earthlink.net:smtp.comcast.net 
 aol.com:smtp.comcast.net 
 pipeline.com:smtp.comcast.net 
 earthlink.net:smtp.comcast.net  
  
 
 The without the dot gets user at aol.com and the with is for user at domain.aol.com 
. Restart qmail your favorite way. You can check with qmail-showctl to see if 
it worked.

Restart qmail your favorite way. 
 
You don't need to restart qmail-send. qmail-remote is invoked every time a 
remote message is to be sent, and will read smtproutes at that time. 
 
You can check with qmail-showctl to see if it worked. 
 
qmail-showctl simply displays the contents of all the control files in a human 
readable format. To see if it works, you need to send a test message.
