 I don't think so, Mark.  This is an "announce-only" list, and the sender is

 couldn't the presence of his IP or ISP in the message headers be enough to
 trigger the blacklist?  - john

This could certainly happen. AOL could decide to scan any part of the message they want, to see if there is something they don't like. The problem is that they rarely tell you anything truly useful about the particular problem they are complaining about, so you're left guessing.


Mark is right. The best answer you're going to get is in that FAQ entry. Trust me, I know -- I was the Sr. Internet Mail Administrator for AOL, I know how their anti-spam stuff worked then, I have some idea of what they've done since, and I wrote that FAQ entry based on my extensive experience inside and outside of the company.
