Just for information... I emailed AOL support about this when it first happened before I realised what the problem was. To my amazement, I received a reply back saying that AOL does not accept mail from hosts that report SPAM. I use SPAMCOP and have a sent a few reports about valid SPAM from a few of their users. I can't send email to any AOL uses using the domain that SPAMCOP gets report via. Not that AOL has ever been on my favourites list, but they've gone on all of my black lists now.
