	The cPanel folks have requested that all support issues regarding 
cPanel be directed to them.  Please see

	Both Earthlink and AOL could easily be dropping the messages for 
some recipients, without telling you or the recipient.  Both 
Earthlink and AOL could be implementing anti-spam policies that no 
one will or can tell you about, because you might be speaking to 
well-meaning but ignorant people at the service(s) in question.  Both 
Earthlink and AOL tend to have less net-savvy customers who will 
occasionally click on the wrong button and "report as spam" a 
legitimate message, or not remember how to unsubscribe themselves and 
use the "report as spam" button instead.

	There's not much you can do about this general class of problem.

	They're using AOL and Earthlink, that seems to be a pattern to me.
