Headers please?
You mean they are running a mail proxy or even a full blown MTA of some
kind (if only IIS SMTPSVC) and sending out mails through localhost:smtp?
If they use AOL mail, they _have_ to use the AOL client as far as I am
aware.
Those AOL broadband IPs are all dynamic, and from the same address space
as their dialup pools (a /11 and a /13, IIRC). Block that entire space
- the amount of direct to MX spam and virus mail you get from there will
far outweigh the amount of legit mail.
