Until an AOL user marks your messages as spam. You set up a feedback loop so anything marked as spam gets sent back to you, but if too many in a time period, you get blocked.
All in all handling emails is a thankless task as it is perceived as free (e.g. Gmail), but providing the service is anything but. I avoid clients looking to send large amounts of emails as they never get that the plan may be $25/mo, but if they get blacklisted, it may cost hundreds of dollars in time and trouble to fix things. And you don't have to be a spammer to get black listed - you just have to hit one of the thresholds used by one of the major ISPs or spam blocking services. No fun.
