Basically AOL is saying that classiccmp.org should not send mail out where the "From:" address is AOL. They're probably in the wrong but it can be worked around by having the mailing list set the From/Sender to be classiccmp, but change the Reply-To to be the original From unless there is already a Reply-To. I used to play these frustrating games with Listserv, not sure if they're possible with this system. The reason other people don't have the same problem is that most people's domains are not so fascist as to insist that their From address is not used in this way.
