That sounds like RFC1123 5.2.5, that says that the mail server may verify
that the HELO/EHLO text matches the reverse DNS entry for the mailserver,
but that the mailserver must accept the message even if there is not a match.
However, that doesn't stop AOL from accepting the message and later
silently deleting it, if it isn't happy with a missing reverse DNS entry.
