AOL censoring the internet is hardly anything new. Their webservers and proxies have prevented sites they deem fit for years now, especially anti-AOL sites and "hacker tools" sites.
AOL uses proprietary e-mail server software. I would hardly use the phrase SMTP and AOL in the same sentence. All of their email is routed through their own servers before hitting their SMTP servers. That's why they don't provide you with the POP3 or SMTP servers that Outlook or similar programs require.
Your best bet for doing adult work and using AOL as your ISP is to register a GMAIL or similar account.
I wouldn't be surprised if you have already been missing incoming messages that their incoming routing servers have blocked.
