The number of addressees on a given reflector message is one; yours.  For a 
thousand members, a thousand different messages are sent.  I think the 
problem is AOL sees thousands of incoming messages from a QTH.net address, 
and it figures they are spam.

During an average month, this reflector alone will send out a million 
individual e-mails.  Not all to AOL, certainly, but when you take all the 
many many QTH.net reflectors we have, the message traffic can look very 
suspicious to a large ISP.
