AOL confirmed on the 10th of november that it is operating in RED mode. Up until today there are still issues with delivery to AOL.
Including random blocks, degradation of IP reputation without cause and even 503 permanent failures occur.

Customers might see higher levels of soft bounces then usual. Some customer might experience ....

complete blocks on their dedicated IP addresses
without reason whom prior to these events had a green reputation.

Our deliverability team has opened a request at the postmaster team but we did not receive any reply from AOL until this date.
We will continue to monitor queues and take necessary action where possible.

Please read the AOL postmaster blog for confirmation from AOL : http://postmaster-blog.aol.com/2010/11/10/internet-inbound-mail-delays/
