I ran this message past David O'Donnell, the AOL postmaster, and here is
his reply. (Ignore the rather stupid -- on my part -- cross posting to
the SPAM-L list. Bad day with Eudora nicknames. Too much mail, too little

Since David didn't copy the list, and since the info is pertinent to any
future problems anyone might have with AOL mail, it seemed that the list,
in general, would be interested in his reply:
