I don't know what's wrong with AOL, but I got the same problem.
Not only on freelist, but on my personal servers, I tried many different
mailing list progies as I though it might be the problem at first, but no
good.
Some AOL users get the mails, some don't.
For some reason, the ONLY mail list I was able to make that ALL aol users
get the mail
is with yahoo list...
I had a list on one of my server, and half AOL users didn't get the mails.
I switched it on yahoo to test my theory, and all got them.
I'm NOT saying to go with yahoo, as I personally hate it, and it's down way
to often, they add
the subscribers emails to lists they sell to sponsors, put lame
advertisements on messages...
(way to go freelists.org :o))...but Id really like to find out whats the
problem with AOL..
of course, id be tend to recommend aol users to switch to a real isp...but
that's a common recommendation :)
