But the same error message over multiple mailings for *all* AOL list members over a week or more would indicate that it is correct.
Maybe. Remember that I used to work there.
With shared hosting, it's generally true, even of webhosts that don't want to host spammers, they often don't pay enough attention to their resellers' customers and will end up hosting spammers who get the server's IP address blacklisted.
That's certainly true enough.
Absolutely! And anyone who's looking to sign up with a webhost should find out their IP ranges and check them *before* signing up.
To the degree that this is possible, yes. One useful criteria in choosing a hosting provider would be whether or not they have signed up for the feedback loop service from AOL, and can give you a summary of recent reports.
I also recommend that anyone with a dedicated server sign up for the feedback loop as well.
Unfortunately, that's only something you can do after-the-fact, at which point it may be too late.
