I don't know if this will approach the problem being asked to
help much, but I did reverse engineer the AOL software 
many years ago to connect with Linux. 

You can only connect to AOL via a special proxy adapter
that is integrated with their software. The martian errors are
due to the built in advertising (pop-up ads and the the like)
being run on internal servers that are not resolvable by 
internet URL. If someone clicks on one of these, the information
is sent to the server holding the information (internal). There may
be other servers (such as American Airlines) that are also built
in to their proxy, but rest assured that these errors are a part of 
the AOL proxy and you won't be able to do much about it unless
you can get AOL to fix their software/practices to deal with your
filtering. 

Maybe running one of the available SOCKS proxies packages 
would reduce the martian errors, but I haven't dealt with the 
said company in any respect for several years, so I don't know.

Your only hope is cooperation with AOL itself (pretty pointless) or
backwards engineering their compiled software and building your
own proxy adapter if the available ones do not help.

I hope this helps,
