Thanks, Travis (and Dave, too). Our empirical tests seem to bear that out.
The really weird thing is that the messages are just being eaten once they get accepted by AOL. They're accepted, not rejected. We do not get a follow-up non-delivery or bounce message. We're not spammers. Small messages consistently work. Large messages don't. We've come up with a workaround, but it would be nice to have a consistent experience so that we could have left this problem solving to the end-users involved.
