AOL rejects gforum reply notification emails
AOL is rejecting mail generated from GForum, does anybody know what to do about this?

Here is the AOL Error description page:
http://postmaster.aol.com/errors/554rlycs.html

Here is the email header (I mangled our return email in this post so spambots wold not pick it up from the forum):

Code:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lion.dnszone.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<mylilcruz@aol.com>:
64.12.137.121 failed after I sent the message.

From the error description on AOL's website, it sounds like you've got a vulnerable script on your website somewhere. Do you have old copies of scripts like formmail and such on your server?

No, I don't have formmail.pl or other commonly known vulnerable scripts on my server.

GForum sent that email and AOL is directly replying that it thinks "This email appears to be generated from a compromised web script." Maybe it is just an aol server glitch because I don't think all the email to aol is being rejected, this is the first one I have noticed.
