They're probably blocking you. Have you gotten many scomp complaints recently?...perhaps a big backlog of them that you/your abuse people
Someone in another thread did say that you were on a DSL line. AOL has a published policy of blocking mail from residential broadband IPs. That, combined with the fact that it is quite often rather tough to tell where an ISP's dynamic / residential pool ends and where its static IP DSL pool begins, might well make AOL cast their net a bit wider than they intend.
