Are AOL's MXs mass rejecting anyone else's emails?

I have had my mail rejected by AOL in the past.  I found their error 
messages very descriptive and the AOL mail team very responsive.  The 
problem was on my end and I found and fixed it.  Have you gone to the 
AOL mail website yet?   Go to http://postmaster.aol.com/  it pretty 
much tells you how AOL handles mail and why they will/will not block 
you.
