421 4.2.1 "service unavailable. please try again later

All of our servers are being deferred by AOL, and I see we are not alone.  I have had a Postmaster ticket in with them for almost 22 hours, and the only response I have received so far is the autoresponder that says that they received my request.  You would think that, if nothing else, they could hire a temp to send out response messages that say something like "Yah, we know there is a problem, we are looking into it"....but No, so far I have been completely ignored, and I have a ton of pissed-off agents that have all of their company email forwarded to their AOL accounts.....

Getting the same thing here as well since yesterday

Ditto here. This has been going on for a couple of addresses since August. Yesterday, all aol.com recipients' emails bounced.

Thanks for the info, hopefully AOL addressses this or fixes this soon.

We are also experiencing the same problems. Emails eventually get delivered but with a 2-6 hour plus delay...
