That depends on the architecture of the AOL's mail service.  There's
no reason why the servers which receive incoming mail should have to
know which addresses are or are not valid.

Create a bug in the SA bugzilla (http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org) and
attach a copy of the bounce message - obfuscate any personal details
if you want, but try not to change any of the bits that cause the hits
on those rules.

There's nothing the developers can do with the report above without
being able to examine the bounce message to see why it's triggering
those rules.
