They block in a few ways. One is that they have a link filter. That's why spammers who send from the net use links like
http://redir.yahoo.com/3902ur/http://hotanal.biz. You can probably get them to whitelist your links.
That's only if the MX server actually accepts mail from you. If you send big volumes of similar messages, the MX server will eventually blacklist your IP and it'll actually tell you if you log the data between your smtp server and the MX.
The majority of spam you get on AOL now is from internal mailers. AOL has no filtering from AOL addresses, so a good internal mailer is a gold mine. There's a few handfuls of people who have these nowadays(starts with d ends with ankcash) and they've been known to be able to make over $150k in a day between a few of them. With those kinds of numbers, can you really blame them?
