But with the caveat that this will also probably catch some 
messages that are not really from an aol user because it's very 
easy to forge the From: header. If too much spam gets through using 
this technique, you might want to use some SpamAssassin rules that 
add a big negative score (e.g. -100) to messages that seem to be 
from aol.com. This way the really egregious From-aol.com spam will 
still get snagged by SA.
