That's bad advice (sorry!).

AOL was dropping your E-mail for a reason.  Switching IPs fixed it, because 
the information AOL has on the new IP is different (for example, if your 
old mail server IP was listed as an open relay, the new one won't for a 
couple weeks or so).  Once AOL has whatever information they had before, 
they will start blocking your mail again.  Check 
http://postmaster.info.aol.com to make sure that you comply with their 
publicly acknowledged testing (IE make sure you are not an open relay), and 
also make sure you comply with the known secret testing (a reverse DNS 
entry), and unless there are other problems (such as sending them too much 
mail in a given time period), the problem will likely fix itself.

It's funny how people will complain to their ISP who implements spam 
control when an occasional legitimate E-mail from AOL gets caught (such as 
when SPAMCOP lists an AOL mailserver that has been sending spam), but I 
haven't once heard of AOL users complaining to AOL when AOL deletes 
legitimate mail.
