AOL blocks all the email

The other day I got almost the exact same message from godaddy.
However we have a reverse lookup, and our isp only provides static ip
addresses.
We called godaddy, but they seemed to not know what was going on.
Godaddy email - Thank you for contacting online support. Unfortunately, the
IP address 70.97.153.82 is not eligible for unblocking. This IP address
comes from a cable/dsl/dialup pool, or other dynamic IP pool. Connections
coming from a pool are nearly impossible to trace back to the originating
computer. It is for that very reason that cable/dsl/dialup pools are very
commonly used by spammers and virus writers.
Due to the large number of virus-infected personal computers on
cable/dsl/dialup connections, we no longer accept mail directly from these
sources. Senders in cable/dsl/dialup pools should configure their mail
software to send outgoing mail through their ISP's dedicated outgoing mail
server. The server is usually named 'smtp.example.com' or
'mail.example.com'. The ISP's support line will be able to give you more
details. We have whitelisted the mail server of most major ISPs, so the mail
will get through if sent through these systems.
