Probably more likely to be an unsecured proxy rather than an open relay. At
any rate, whatever other flaws they may have, AOL seems to be pretty good
at keeping a lid on spam coming out of their network. That said, I do
occasionally get spam relayed by AOL hosts, although it's rare enough that
it gets a raised eyebrow when I see it. In the case of AOL I think it's
worth the effort to report spamming incidents to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Entirely possible. The only Received header you can trust 100% is the one
that was written by your own server (the topmost one).
