Have you tried the whitelist? I deliver loads of mail to AOL (although the
volume is declining now pretty rapidly in favor of gmail). In my experience
it works fine. Make sure you have a proper reverse set up, and set up a
feedback loop. You can do the feedback loop and whitelist here:
http://postmaster.info.aol.com/
I recently changed ip addresses on my sending server and forgot to update my
whitelist entry - once I had done so, by calling them, mail started flowing
again within a couple hours.
I've found that AOLs postmaster staff has been very responsive when I've
called, even more so in the last couple years. Don't hesitate to call them.
