Hello,
  does anyone know how AOL's spam filters work? (Could it be that
in some circumstances perfectly legitimate messages might be silently
discarded, with no non-delivery notification or anything?)

The reason why I'm asking is that a number of AOL subscribers to mailing
lists at surrogacy.org have problems with receiving list traffic. The
maillog indicates that the messages are accepted for delivery by AOL's
servers, but the people tell us they're not getting them. There are no
non-delivery notifications.

-- Norbert.
