Is anyone else noticing new AOL lameness that when you send an e-mail to an AOL user and if the e-mail has a URL in it but the reverse lookup of that url doesn't come back to that domain name that AOL's postmaster rejects it and gives you this URL: http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554hvuip.html
Postings on spam-l indicate that AOL had some broken filters that improperly identified URLS - the intent was to catch URLs of the form http://2993432234133/some/path/here, but it was also catching some/123423433/here as well. Whoops. AOL has backed the filter out.
