Check the mailing lists. The problem is that a DNS query of aol.com's MX
list comes back in a reply greater than 512 bytes. The solutions are: 1
(easy, but not always reliable), hardcode one of the MX handlers for
aol.com into control/smtp routes, or 2 (better, more involved) patch qmail
to deal with DNS query results >512 bytes.
More information is available in the mailing list archives.
