I havent seen anyone mention the fact that ORBS, RBL, etc. dont block *@domain.com, they block specific mail relays. How many external SMTP servers does AOL have? Do a MX lookup for AOL.COM. it was 8 servers at my last count (quite some time ago), and those are only for INBOUND smtp. ORBS blocking 2 SMTP servers for a small subset of the customer does NOT equal ORBS refusing all @aol.com email.
