    It appears that some resourceful AOL users have figured out how
    to unsubscribe from our mailing lists without bothering with the
    normal procedure. Just report the mail as spam and eventually
    the originating server will be blocked.

    p.s. I'm pretty sure the server is not an open relay because
    currently you have to use a valid POP3 account within an hour
    before using the SMTP server as a relay (popauth).
