I suspect that the 'problem' from qmail's standpoint may be the fact
that AOL seems to have multiple A records for the same name/server to
different IP addresses, for their mail servers.

Roxie,
That wasn;t really meant for you specifically, just a general bit of
info for the list.
WRT what you are doing, AOL gets really pissed off at people who send
much mail if anything does not look right. One of the things they say
NOT to do is to put the IPs of their MX servers into your local cache.
So, if you are going to do so, I would advise putting ALL of them into
there and checking regularly to make sure they are updated, and be sure
you rotate through them every few days if they have any that are
round-robin DNS entries.
I have tried to fight my way off of AOL's blacklist before and it is not
fun. If you have any mailing lists that go to AOL users, you should set
up a loopback address with encoded senders in extra headers.
