I spoke to AOL's main anti-spam guy about this a few weeks back, and he
said (hope he doesn't mind my quoting this here):
This is, in fact, a block of suspected spam; the code will
be changed shortly to be more descriptive.
I have noticed this error with some apparently non-bulk and legitimate
mail recently.
AOL's postmaster team has gotten a lot more responsive recently, so
forwarding a copy of the message that bounced to postmaster@ and / or
calling the number at http://postmaster.info.aol.com/ would probably
be good steps to take if you haven't already done so.
