I maintain a separate account at a local ISP for just this
eventuality. Send all your aol listmembers a note that aol is blocking
their mail, unsubscribe them all, tell them so, and tell them they
have two choices: either find another provider, or get aol to pass
their mail.
It happened to us a few months ago, and aol saw the light real fast.
Meanwhile, don't waste your bandwidth trying to make a connection
where the mail will drop on the floor.
AOL seems to run some kind of detect system that looks for repeated
connects where there are lots of names in the envelope addresses and
it doesn't match the to: header. They then assume you're a spamhaus.
I used to take a lot of time to try and contact these ISPs, but found
that the users are a lot more able to do it, speak with a lot louder
voice, and are a lot more motivated to do something about it.
Good luck.
