I agree with Len. It would seem that AOL's decision is based upon the
delivering mail server -- not the originating client or the originating
mail server.
We've established (I think) that DNS is setup correctly with an A record,
MX, etc. So, the next thing I would try is to change the name of the mail
server, i.e. from "server.com" to "mail.server.com"
I had this same problem with AOL in the past and, for some unknown reason,
changing the name of the mail server cured it. YMMV, but it's worth a shot.
