It's actually an old problem. I remembered reading about it when using CF
3.0+. AOL has listed the CFMail X-header as a spam signature
X-Mailer: Allaire ColdFusion Application Server
One easy fix is to use the MAILERID attribute in CFMail:
<cfmail to="#attributes.to#"
from="#attributes.from#"
subject="#attributes.subject#"
server="mail.digitalstormfront.com"
timeout=60
MAILERID="#cgi.http_user_agent#">
I ran a number of tests with this and it hasn't failed yet.
I tried harcoding the MAILERID to "Binford Mailblaster 2000" and never
received the message :)

Yeah I would like to know also. AOL users account for a majority of internet
users and compatability is a must in a public application.
