After reading my reply, let me explain the problem a little more as I
don't think you understood.

Domain.com - owned by AOL customer.

We host domain.com, MX for domain.com points to our MTA.

AOL Customer wants email sent to domain.com forwarding to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Spammer sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], our MTA accepts this email and
forwards to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

AOL.com says this is spam and blacklists our server? For providing an
email forwarding service to their/our client?

That's not on!

Hope that makes the problem clearer.



It is clear.  The risk is taken by the AOL customer, unless you are able to
filter the spam.
The alternative is not to forward it but allow the AOL user POP3 Access direct
to your mail server.

For this reason, we do not allow forwarding to ISP mail boxes but provide the
end user pop or web access.
