The place I work managed to get themselves blacklisted with a few places around the world, one of which is AOL, and its not causing them some grief, in that they have customers and stuff with these ISPs.

They got themselves blacklisted by having their mail server as an open relay without realising it. I'm pretty sure it has since been closed, and did check it with my limited knowledge of smtp.

How exactly do you check if it is still open. The server is running Exchange 5.0, I think.

And how do you try to go about getting unblacklisted from someone like AOL?

Google for "check open relay" - I just did and there are online tools to test it.

you log onto each site that blacklisted you and ask for a retest - check your postmaster@domain accout to find which ones listed you.

Some of them propagate the lists both for bans and for unbans others are a little more difficult.
