This for this obvious, but nonetheless useful, advice.

SPF might be the reason why the mail was rejected, but just as a note,
as soon as I telnet to one of their MX, I get the following message:

> telnet -b AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD mailin-01.mx.aol.com 25
Trying 205.188.155.89...
Connected to mailin-01.mx.aol.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
554- (RTR:SC) http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554rtrsc.html
554- AOL does not accept e-mail transactions from IP addresses which
554- generate complaints or transmit unsolicited bulk e-mail.
554 Connecting IP: AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
Connection closed by foreign host.

For now, I am using my ISP SMTP to manually relay the mail, and it seems
to be working ok.

Thanks for all your precise help.
