I don't know what MTA you're using, but I know that with Postfix you
can specify in your main.cf and transport files to relay through your
ISP's mail server for all aol.com recipients. My mail server is on
a residential DSL line, but AOL isn't blocking mail from me, not yet
at least. Let me know if you need more info - Mike
