SMTP Settings to send mail to AOL

Hi, I have set up a BBS that uses ASP with SMTP to contact members via email. The issue that I am having is that I get an error when attempting to send email to AOL members.
Event ID: 4000 Description: Message delivery to the remote domain 'aol.com' failed for the following reason: An SMTP protocol error occurred.
I do not have this error with other services.
When a member Registers for the BBS they must confirm their email account by clicking a link sent to them via email. So aol members are unable to access this BBS.
I could really use some help on this one.
Thanks in advance.
