We've experienced similar difficulties sending to AOL in the past week or so. Most of
the mail goes through (about 300 AOL
subscribers), but we're getting 30 or 35 AOL bounces per message, higher than normal.
We get the same 550 MAILBOX NOT FOUND message.
No idea what's going on. Spam filters maybe?
