Some emails aren't being delivered

iis smtp nntp:

I set up smtp for my outbound email and I don't have much mail that goes
out, it's only me sending mail. Most of my emails go through, but it seems
that some don't. From the message I receive, it sounds like it's not even
getting out from my server, but since some messages do get delivered, I'm
not sure where to even look for the problem. The pattern I've found,
although there could be no relation, is that none of the messages get
through when it's set to aol. Is there something different about aol that I
need to set up? As I said, I'm not positive aol is the problem, so how
could I find out if the message below indicates a problem on my end, or if
it is delivering but aol is rejecting it? Thanks for your help.

This is the message I receive: Delivery Status Notification (Delay) --
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

That's just a delivery delayed message, and indicates that the SMTP server
is still trying to deliver the mail. If, eventually, the message can not be
delivered, you will get a "delivery failed" message that may indicate the
reason.

There are sometimes transient issues that prevent messages from being
delivered (e.g. remote mail server is down). You may need to wait until the
delivery failed message to work out why.

Cheers

Thanks! It seems it takes a day or two before I receive these messages.
And the mail never gets through, I've checked with the recipients.
Sometimes I get a delivery failed error; there are so many messages that I
may not have tracked them all very well. The delivery failed error says
"unable to deliver message to the following recipients, due to being unable
to connect to the destination mail server."

And the pattern is definitely aol recipients, there are about a dozen I
email regularly who are not getting my emails. Everyone else does.

Any other ideas?
