Since aol.com isn't on your RAQ, it won't relay mail to that domain. You can
add the POP before SMTP patch,
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/contrib/binaries/POP-before-relay.txt or add
aol.com in the control panel under the allowed domains. However, it means
that anyone can relay mail for aol.com through your server if you do that.
