Not all AOL.com mail from LISTSERV travels via the backbone.  However lots does.
The last hop in the backbone route to LISTSERV.AOL.COM is via
PLUM.EASE.LSOFT.COM, so this is known.  We have encountered no problems with the
backbone traffic going to AOL.  Believe me, we would know if there were.
Redistribution beyond LISTSERV.AOL.COM going into the AOL system itself, we
cannot speak about.
