The AOL configuration is an aberration I set up *very* temporarily, to deal 
with the fact that AOL is now using the same MTA on some of its boundary 
machines that netscape.net uses, on which SMTP pipelining is 
broken.  However, I now know that the correct way to handle that in 
sendmail 8.12.x is to explicitly disable pipelining for the domain by 
putting a record to do so in the access database:

         Srv_Features:aol.com    P

Since AOL has heuristics to tell if you're a bad citizen based on the 
number of connections over some period of time and/or number of addresses 
on an envelope, I'd suggest using a number smaller than the 100 I use with 
the others.
