We are currently running 2003 Exchange Enterprise and we can receive email
from people with AOL emails i.e. somen***@aol.com or somen***@aim.com. 
However, we can not send or reply to AOL messages received.  I found the
following document on the AOL website but I am unsure how to proceed:

Any ideas?

AOL blocks email that comes from an ISP's residential block of IP addresses.
If you have a dynamic IP (even if you use a dynamic IP service to always
have access to your domain via a changing IP address) AOL will block it.
Getting a static IP address will solve this problem.

I have the same problem, but I use static IP's. The closest I can figure for
the doucment that I looked up is that AOL says that our DNS doesn't reverse
properly (Which it does!) OUr clients use DHCP though, could it be something
with that?

DHCP shouldn't matter.  I'll bet that the static IP that you have is still
"marked" by AOL as a "Residential" IP.  Call your ISP to check this out
before you do anything else.

Enable logging on the SMTP connector in Exchange and send an email to AOL.
Go check the log file, there will be a URL from AOL pointing you to a fix
for your issue.

Hi,
I had the same issue couple of months back with my exchange. AOL is not
allowing any mails send and receive without resolving the hostname with the
IP. I asked my ISP to add the the reverseDNS lookup to resolve my IP and now
it's works well.

I hope this will help.

Do you have a static IP?  If so, why would your ISP need to change your DNS
record?  Do they host your DNS for you as well?
