These are specific requests by individuals to forward mail to from one of their own accounts to another one of their own accounts. I do not think AOL (or anyone) should consider mail forwarded at the customers request as indicating that our mail servers are sending spam. As that is apparently not the case I have seriously considered as a matter of policy refusing to install mail forwards to AOL customers.
