In SPF terms, this doens't require AOL to do anything. It requires *you*

+include:aol.com.
Wrong. I cannot install smtp auth on aol's servers.
If I use aol, comcast, or rcn, or most isp's, I cannot run my own mailserver
because they filter outbound port 25.
This will go down in the future, I think, once SPF is adopted. In the
mean time, there are a number of amenable providers you can use as an
outgoing relay who will open port 26 or others for you. Use a mailserver
outside your network if the policies of the network or network's
mailservers are not to your liking.
You /can/ choose your ISP. Perhaps it is time to find one that suits
you.
