Are you sure you didn't misunderstand? AOL has problems with mail that
comes from dialup addresses. In some cases, providers use the same
netblocks for static servers as dynamic dialups, which causes this
problem. In other cases, the netblocks are separate -- but you still get
mail servers named 123-234-321.d.bellatlantic.net, which looks like a
dialup, causing a false positive on AOL's end.

If you didn't misunderstand, the tech may have.

Which is frequently a problem. Many sites have horrid DNS resolution.
