AOL checking Sender-ID?

2005-03-01 06:39:00
My users have been getting a raft of mail rejected by AOL, with the reject 
referencing the following URL:

http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554rlyfa.html

The From address *is* properly formatted.  However, the rejected messages 
are forwards of jokes and such where the From would not pass a sender-ID
check that (stupidly and incorrectly) uses their SPFv1 record.  They also 
reject email that has no From at all.  I'll do some more experiments.
