All I can think of is asking the author for a -maxrecipients option, unless
you
or a friend are good C programmers.  The tool is open source if I remember
correctly.  Otherwise, you might try multiple include files and multiple 
bulk_mailer commands for your outgoing alias, which you would probably have
to 
manipulate by hand to insure you have less than 100 AOLers per include file.

Example:
test-outgoing: "|bulk_mailer envelope_from recipient_list_file1",
	"|bulk_mailer envelope_from recipient_list_file2",
	"|bulk_mailer envelope_from recipient_list_file3",
	"|bulk_mailer envelope_from recipient_list_file4",

bulk_mailer = fully qualified path to bulk_mailer
envelope_from = owner-listname@your.domain
recipient_list_file# = fully qualified path to address list file

Of course, this may not help either, since the email is still originating
from the same address, and still going to a total of more than 100 AOLers.
If this method puts differring messageID headers in for the separate include
files, it may help.  Otherwise, your only other option is to talk/email
with AOL officials and ask them for a suggestion for reaching the more than
100 users that have "opted into" your subscription list.
