Uh, what about legitimate messages from those servers? aol is a pretty big
one to block completely...(even if it is just bounces) Assuming the return
address on the offending spam isn't valid one might try bouncing all mail
addressed to non-valid users.
then again I guess it's just a matter of how many bounces you're receiving
;-)

About a year ago, I had somebody forge headers that referred to my site and
they went and spamed AOL. I was getting bounce messages as fast as AOL's
14 mail servers could send them. I had to make 14 entries into
'badmailfrom' to make them quit it.

Now a question. Is there a syntax that specifies ALL OF AOL, for example
*.aol.com
or .aol.com
I vaguely remember trying both and neither worked.
