We ran (past-tense, the VM system is gone) Listserv/LMAIL, so excuse my
somewhat fuzzy memory, but...

It is rejecting the source-routed From: address.  By default, LMAIL will
insert a source route.  There is a flag you can set in LOCAL SYSVARS (?)
in LMAIL's configuration to disable source routes.  As I recall, it is
to add 'NO_SOURCE_ROUTES = 1' but I would strongly urge you to verify
that statement.  Once you set this flag, LMAIL will use 'vanilla'
headers/SMTP envelopes and AOL will be happy.
