Alternatively, AOL might be trying to send the mail from a different
server every time. If the receiving server does implement graylisting,
then every time it sees a new IP address, sends it a 4xx status, and
waits for it to reappear. Only when it does reappear the IP address is
new, so it graylists again. Rince, repeat.
