I still don't agree if the client has requested we forward mail to his AOL account.
whether you agree or not is beside the point. AOL's MX, AOL's policies.

I'm not complaining that its blocking the email - I wish Imail/Declude had a REJECT action at the SMTP level before accepting an email so that I could implement it.
That's precisely the fundamental architectural difference between content-scanners like Imail/Declude and envelope-rejectors like IMGate.
With spam running at 70% to 90% at some large MXs, more and more admins are fed up sucking in all that crap and burning the bandwidth and machine resources.
I'm simply saying that its not on for AOL to blacklist us if we were to forward a spam to these users.
How do you get AOL to allow spam from your outbound while blocking spam from other MTAs? it won't happen.
For the record, we haven't been blacklisted by AOL - I'm talking hypothetically.
Which is fine, but at some point when discussing policies and practices, you have to move to the practical.
