It's official. AOL set their DMARC record to reject like Yahoo did last week.

Larry, I got at least one recently that also tried to go through a list 
I maintain but the subscriber was moderated.. looking at the full 
headers, it was obvious it was Spoofed aka forged.. NOT a hack.. the 
subscriber's email address was forged.. and actually sent from a 
different server, not an AOL server or via the subscriber's email 
account... that's why changing passwords won't stop it.

I can easily do the same thing using Pegasus and other email programs.
