My solution is even easier.  As soon as mail to an AOL subscriber starts to
bounce, I set them to NOMAIL.  Eventually they write to me and ask why they
aren't getting list mail.  I tell them they were set to NOMAIL because
messages to them were bouncing, it is their responsibility to correct the
problem, and to let me know when they have it fixed.  I have essentially no
tolerance for AOL subscribers.

Since my list is private, I have seriously considered not allowing AOL and
Hotmail subscribers on the list.  That would solve 99% of the problems.
