This won't necessarily help you, because they may well be spotting verp-ed
addresses (I don't know the details of AOL), and the message isn't bouncing,
it's being reported to AOL as spam. I'm fed up with lusers who report things
as spam instead of unsubscribing, though. I get the odd few on lists I run.

It's probably easier to add a header which munges all information about the
email address (eg, by encrypting it), so that it's not even findable as an
email address.
