i suggest not jumping to any conclusions here.

i run digest.net, a smallish not-very-profitable electronic mailing
list host, and i observed similar dropouts, but discovered that my
reverse DNS lookups were broken, and AOL's current policy is to reject
email from hosts for which reverse DNS isn't working properly.
