I was getting a TON of temporary errors from AOL.  All were for DNS
failures.

Now, mail from myself to AOL went fine, as did a number of other users.

The problem turned out to be a user who has @cybertiNe.net in his from
address.  N instead of M.  Oops.

See, AOL does a reverse lookup on all inbound mail, not uncommon.  So my
user caused a bit of an issue by sending mail again and again, and crating
more and more queue files.

I also stumbled on this while looking into things:

It talks about what AOL does to combat spam.
