[Mailman-Users] AOL now bouncing ALL email from ALL mailman systems

[Ed]

Well actually this is part of their new MIME filtering.  We have a web log 
reporting engine that makes some positively huge email's with MIME encoded 
charts and other images.  AOL barf's continually on these while it lets 
other MIME encoded traffic from us to the same person(s) go right on through.

Just another case of the total ineptitude present at AOL.
