First, they work on the envelope sender, which generates the aforementioned 550 error about not accepting mail. Second, they also work on the From header, which generates the above terrible awful non-compliant message. Back when AOL's filters only worked on the envelope sender, you could set up a whitelist to allow a mailing list -- provided it generated a static Return-Path. But now that no longer works, since AOL will also compare your whitelist against From.
