Not that I've heard of, and Spam-L is usually a good place to hear of any such things. In the first place they need to read the log files, and see what reason AOL gives for not accepting the email during the SMTP transaction. I see a fair proportion of rejected email from AOL currently with "554 Transaction failed", "(HVU:B1)", but assume someone is spamming (or other junk) is getting through our filters, to the accounts that forward to AOL accounts, and that this junk contains URLs of sites AOL users don't like.
