It appears that some resourceful AOL users have figured out how
to unsubscribe from our mailing lists without bothering with the
normal procedure. Just report the mail as spam and eventually
the originating server will be blocked.

p.s. I'm pretty sure the server is not an open relay because
currently you have to use a valid POP3 account within an hour
before using the SMTP server as a relay (popauth).
