Can you refer me to any articles that explain this better?  The articles 
that I have read about it are ambiguous at best, but maybe I can chalk 
that up to bad reporting.  AOL has been such a thorn in my side already 
with their "Enhanced Whitelist" program that I wouldn't put it past them 
to start charging for any bulk e-mail.  AOL who used to bombard my 
e-mail servers with loads of spam, and now I can't even send them a 
legitimate newsletter.
