    I saw something about AOL blocking connections from "residential" IPs
    at slashdot a few months ago,
    http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/04/13/2215207. One of the
    replies there pointed to http://postmaster.info.aol.com/. I have not
    looked at this closely but the page begins, "AOL has developed this
    site for Internet users who are experiencing problems sending e-mail
    to AOL or for people who have questions about AOL's e-mail and junk
    e-mail policies."

    Other recent slashdot complaints about problems due to AOL's spam
    blocking policy:
