As a hosting provider, we have hundreds of clients who are also AOL clients. Many of them forward all of their email sent to their hosting account with us to their aol email account.
When a SPAM is sent to their hosting account...it gets forwarded to their aol account along with all of their other emails. If they then click the 'report spam' button on aol's side for this SPAM message, AOL MARKS OUR SERVER AS THE CULPRIT AND NOT THE ORIGINAL SPAMMER!.
Obviously this is a problem which has caused us many sleepless nights:(
