Obviously, I hope, the business realities of playing the spam game
dictate that I can only control the spam, not stop it.

I was hoping someone was going to say that "AOL already does this
themselves". In the 'old' days, there was a list of what to allow
under .ipt.aol.com. It's pretty easy for them to do it, and I'm
guessing that they do actually filter this outbound, or their
managed modem providers may, I'm just looking for a confirmation.
