Sigh.  The problem is that the AOL subscriber is a good member on this list 
so I don't want to do that.

Does anyone know if AOL allows whitelisting AND blacklisting, and if the 
whitelist takes precedence?  IOW, if she whitelists the list address, will 
it accept list email while bouncing private email from the same sender?

Thanks!
