I have had my mail rejected by AOL in the past. I found their error
messages very descriptive and the AOL mail team very responsive. The
problem was on my end and I found and fixed it. Have you gone to the
AOL mail website yet? Go to http://postmaster.aol.com/ it pretty
much tells you how AOL handles mail and why they will/will not block
you.
