I'm pretty sure it's not looking for PTR. tag, you can be the guinea
pig. :)))

AOL MX gateways will reject a msg if the @sender.domain does not
resolve (ie, query for sender.domain A record).
So all you have to do, if the above is your problem, is add an A record to DNS
listsenderdomain A ip.ad.re.ss
and while you're at it, add an MX record:
listsenderdomain MX imailbox.domain.com
