The bayes_auto_expire is set to 0.  The email address and the domain are
whitelisted in for spamassassin.  Need to look into spamdyke.  Does it
run well in a Gateway setup i.e. sits in front of my Exchange server?

Root cause seems to be that the connection w/ AOL is timing out.

Is bayes_auto_expire turned on (1) in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf? 
If so, turning it off would be a good idea.

If you're running spamdyke (a good idea anywise), you can use that to 
whitelist the domain. Then at least you won't be a relay (I think - Sam 
could say for sure).

Not fun.  They gave me their outbound server list.  I added them to the
tcp.smtp file with the relayclient="" option and now I get emails again
from AOL.  There needs to be a better way to fix this as now I am an
openrelay for AOL email servers.  Anyone else having problems receiving
emails from AOL?
