This is covered quite throughly in the archives. Verping your mail will
help, and may solve the problem (look up verp in the FAQ).

The problem *may* be that you have too many aol recipients in one piece
of mail.  You can change this in your MTA or you can try to change this
in your Mailman
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 5

Good Luck - and have fun reading the archs!
