Sheer speculation and hearsay, but AOL may be doing their best to eliminate the spam that clogs their networks. Thus, they could be limiting the number of AOL users that you can have in the envelope of the message. Three would be a bit low, but... To test this bit of hearsay, you can toggle a few bits on your server.
Edit ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cft.py and set: # Ceiling on the number of recipients that can be specified in a single SMTP # transaction. Set to 0 to submit the entire recipient list in one # transaction. Only used with the SMTPDirect DELIVERY_MODULE. #SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500 SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 1 Then send a test and see what precipitates!
