I've been hosting a few lists using Mailman for quite some time now. Recently AOL has started deferring emails from my server, possibly because one person on a list started a new subscription when they left AOL and didn't cancel the subscription to the defunct AOL address.
AOL sucks!

AFIR AOL will do this if they see lots of mail coming from you, it is an anti spam measure. If you contact them and say that you run mail lists they will enter you into their OK list.

Speaking as the former Sr. Internet Mail System Administrator for AOL, I understand all too well what they're doing and why, and just how stupid some of their stuff is.
That said, problems with AOL are well-known, and there are entries in the FAQ wizard that will provide you the information you need to do the best you can to work around the ones we know about.

Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006. If you have an old e-mail account for me at this domain, please make sure you correct that with the current address.
