I've been having lots of blocked attachments. Anything with .doc gets
dropped. I have verified that it is not on my client's end by the
MailScanner headers. His systems put in his domain name in the headers.
The blocking domain does not. The bounces seem to occur both ways, to
AOL and from AOL. 

These are not mailing lists, however. We do have a small mailing list
and all of those get through OK from outside to AOL sunscribers.
