I had problems sending mails to aol, and hotmail addresses.

It turned out that the server doesnt have reverse dns set up (being a 
business DSL account.. it would be impossible to get it set up). It's 
also mac os x , and on unix systems php sends mail through the local 
mail queue.. which in this case is sendmail.

not knowing how to configure sendmail, or install exim .. i ended up 
using the smtp trick[1] in drupal's contrib repository to pipe all our 
mail through the provided smtp server.

hope that helps ..
