It's careless to say "it won't work". Giving a warning to the sender when
they send mail to "user@netcom.com" and they have "netcom.com" in their
block list is perfectly reasonable. I'm astonished they don't do that,
actually. Adding text to the message to the recipient is probably overkill
so long as the AOL user gets the warning.
