Danny, good call, thanks for the advice. It works fine now. I still have a
problem sending to an edu domain but your suggestion solved the AOL problem.
I can live with the edu problem for now. Thanks for your help.

This is common, there are two key issues at work here:
1/ AOL I *think* will reject mail from servers which themselves appear to
accept mail for relaying, whether or not the mail is actually relayed or
not. James is such a device. [http://james.apache.org/FAQ.html#2]
2/ Many of the AOL type of ISP's will not accept mail from machines
conected to a DHCP assigned IP address.

Mailet and matcher should be just fine, match on domain and use the remote
delivery mailet.
You may have to experiment, and you may have to owrk out some kind of
pattern matching for AOL domains.
On the other hand why not just route *all* of your outgoing mail through
your ISP, on the downside it adds one hop, on the up side it devloves
responibility for this to someone you can moan to. :-)

The mail will contain headers detailing the hops, but AOL will only care
about the immediately preceding hop, and the recipient will not know, nor
care, how the mail was routed.

I think that'd be way too much effort, unless you have a strong requirement
you could explain to us?
