"No mail relay" means that nobody can send outgoing mail (IE mail not to
local accounts) unless they authenticate first using SMTP AUTH. That's a
good setup (the alternative is "Relay for addresses"; no other SMTP
security options are secure).
>220 fission.fusionaccess.net (IMail 7.06 2-1) NT-ESMTP Server X1
This is your SMTP greeting.
> > HELO acuderm.com
>
>250 hello fission.fusionaccess.net
Here, a server announces that it is acuderm.com. It really should be
saying "HELO mail.acuderm.com" (unless acuderm.com is a hostname for the
mailserver, which usually isn't the case), but that's probably irrelevant.

VRFY is used to verify accounts on a server, not any old E-mail
address. You have to connect to AOL's mail servers to verify an AOL E-mail
address (which they probably won't let you do, but that's a different
matter). So whatever software you are using to verify the address isn't
going to the correct server.
> > MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
>250 ok
Here the remote mailserver is saying that it is sending mail from
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which is fine.
> > RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>
>550 not local host aol.com, not a gateway
And dina is trying to send mail (relay) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, since
dina didn't authenticate, and you don't allow relaying unless the user
authenticates, the E-mail is rejected.
> > EXPN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
>550 lists are confidential
Here, IMail is also doing the right thing, and not giving any information
about who is on a mailing list. In this case, [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't a
mailing list that IMail would know about, but IMail is set not to accept
the EXPN command, which is good.
So, to resolve your problem, you have to identify what the problem is. I'm
guessing you were thinking that the E-mail to AOL would have gone out. If
that is the problem, dina would need to authenticate before sending the mail.
