Your mailer has accepted the message (the "<=" line). However, the
destination of the message is apparently aol.com. This could be because
of user forwarding or it could be a relayed message if you don't have
relay blocking. There should be some more lines in your log for message
0xV2SV-0001dU-00. What happened to it next? Maybe that one aol host was
just temporarily down.
