You mean that someone can wittingly forge the header content? In
principle, this is possible, 
but this is the real crime. I'm not sure that this the best way to send
spam. 
Anyone knows something similar?

I believe that they should add your ip only when they receive your mail
in direct point-to-point connection.
But if your header consist of more the one extern ip entry they should
refer to original sender first. Because 
connection server easily could be their personal AOL server, which
forward info to them.

I have a negative experience to resolve similar problem with such
"bison" orgs. They receive a hundreds phone
calls and emails per day and usually don't respond anything. In my case
helps corparative forum where I have
explain my problem in details. In your case I think that Mark was right.
It's better to stop or decrease forwarding
temporary until they revise their control access politics and
procedures.

But  why should AOL believe the headers that the IMail server added? The
only  thing  they  can trust is the IP Address of the connecting server,
i.e. the IMail server doing the forwarding.
