http://postmaster.info.aol.com has a lot of information about AOL's public spam detection. Note that they also have "stealth" spam detection that they do not even acknowledge exists, which is not documented anywhere. Normally, if the E-mail is caught this way, they just delete it. For example, having no reverse DNS entry will count towards their stealth spam detection (but that factor alone will not cause the E-mail to get deleted). >Is it possible that this is because my Recipients per Message is too high? >I set it to 70, as per instructions in the IMail resources (manual and/or >knowledge base), because I have 1750 subscribers (1750/25=70).

I'm pretty sure that IMail won't try to "batch" multiple E-mails, so of the 70 recipients, if only 10% are AOL users, IMail would likely only send 7 copies to AOL.
