SPAM'ers are winning the war, or maybe the ISP corporations are not
annoyed enough, to do battle.
SPAM can be blocked either at the ISP which for you is AOL. But they
are not doing a good job, assuming you've checked the right places.
The other place you can battle with SPAM is on your own. There are a
few things, but they may not work with AOL. Simple filter that looks
for your addrss in the e-mail header, works for me.
the most effective method at ISP is to setup a list of addresses,
which you allow e-mail to come from. That blocks all other e-mails.
This is not for everyone.
Your post made call Comcast and ask, why do they deliver mail to my
box that does not have my address anywhere in it. Of course the
first level TS had no answer.
Puzzles me that big corporation, such as AOL or Comcast, does not
have the resources to stop this annoyance.
