After adding:

aol.com    smtp:smtp-server.austin.rr.com

to mailertable and running "make"... I am no longer rejected by AOL... but
still nada!!  log genericized again... my buddy in TX decided to try this
before I got around to it... his results are as follows (and there was a valid
AOL account used, user is obviously not it):


   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<user at aol.com>
    (reason: 550 5.7.1 <user at aol.com>... Relaying denied)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to texlog.texas.rr.com.:
>>> RCPT To:<user at aol.com>
<<< 550 5.7.1 <user at aol.com>... Relaying denied
550 5.1.1 <user at aol.com>... User unknown
