I've never seen this problem before.

There are certainly a lot or URLs in that message.  Do you know somebody
with an AOL address that you can use as a test subject?  Do a binary
search, and cut the message in half.  Send the message and repeat until
you've succeeded in sending the message, in which case you've isolated
which part of the message as the offending URL.

If you don't have a friendly AOL account to try, perhaps you could just
send the message to their support email address.

I took a brief look at the source; maybe it's this URL:

<a href="http://www.bradleybirth.com%20";
target="_blank">www.bradleybirth.com</a>

Note the %20 to indicate an unnecessary space at the end of the the URL.
AOL may be seeing this as an attempt to obfuscate the URL.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with AOL Filtering Bulk Mail for a
Client


We sent a bulk mailing this morning for a client to 532 addresses. We
use Group Mail and authenticate from our office dedicated IP to our
IMAIL server via the clients account virtual domain. However, the e-mail
was rejected to any AOL address stating that URLs are improperly
formatted. We have verified all formatting of the URL's. Below is what
we get back from AOL. 

Body of message generated response: 
554-:  (HVU:NR) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvunr.html   
554 TRANSACTION FAILED 

Below is the URL of the actual e-mail/file itself we sent. The only
thing I can think of is they do not like the sub-domain we are using
news.holisticmoms.org which is what we directed for the plain text
folks. The actual e-mail itself can be viewed at
http://news.holisticmoms.org/index_email.htm.

Also, perhaps they do not like our dedicated office IP number even
though we are sending via our IMail server and authenticated via their
virtual domain account.

Does anyone have any clues about this or the errors of my ways? Thanks.
