>We're receiving emails from: rly-ip02.mx.aol.com.

You mean you are receiving E-mails from someone CLAIMING to be 
rly-ip02.mx.aol.com.

Only the IP address is meaningful, since a virus could easily spread itself 
claiming to be rly-ip02.mx.aol.com.

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=152.163.225.160 shows that it 
really is AOL.

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about it, except block it (for 
this one issue, you could use IMail's Control Access or Kill List or 
filtering, or for general virus/spam protection you can use tools such as 
our Declude, or IMGate, or IMail AntiVirus).

You can contact AOL about it, but it's unlikely that they will have the 
time to track down the user and notify them of the problem (assuming that 
the return address is not valid -- otherwise you can E-mail them and let 
them know).
