As a heavy user of iMS and the CFX tag (ver 2.9.6), I can tell you there are no issues with sending mail to AOL. I send about 400K messages to AOL weekly. Go to the site Howie mentioned (http://postmaster.info.aol.com) and follow their instructions. There is a number you can call for support on email issues - I believe it is listed in the ARIN whois for their MX servers.

Subject: Re: [iMS] Re: aol and email

in my case, i am NOT sending a plethora of messages to aol.  mostly, just one.  in fact, i built my own double opt-in email system and am currently testing it through a group of techie and non-techie friends.  my smtp server is tightened down and requires authentication.  CFMAIL cannot handle authentication to smtp servers, so i purchased this CFX as a fix to that issue.  anyway, all email that i send directly through my SMTP server gets delivered ...only when using the CFX does the mail never arrive. over 22 people in my testing group have aol addresses, and not one can get the 'sign up verification' email.  (the most important part of "double opt-in") 
 
here is the link, incidentally : http://getupclose.com
 
second, i built the double opt-in system to protect myself from blacklists and to become a more responsible corporate email sender; however, 24% of our entire email list of 27,000 people have aol addresses.  without them being able to double opt-in, we will lose a tremendous amount of subscribers from a very 'market-friendly' demographic.  not good. and while i realize i could go back to the drawing board, since i bought this tag specifically for this purpose, i'd like to solve the issue using it.
 
i am pretty sure it has to do with the headers that are created when using CFX.  based on my research and reading up on aol's policies regarding internet email, it seems to be the only solution.  hopefully, CFX developers can provide some detailed help/fix/information that allow these emails to arrive.
 
thanks.
