so there are thre situations above:
SMTP connection refused (TCP ok, SMTP no, probably STMP turned off due stressed machine)
SMTP connection established but dropped by AOL and
SMTP connection establlished nut AOL didn't respond within timeout of 30 seconds. we click off.
Those are the failed connects, totally separate from the 673 successful deliveries.
