Running a mail server may be against your TOS, but sending email from your
local box directly most certainly is not. 

I hate fighting this spam war with two fronts.  The spaming morons on one
side sending me the spam, and the anti-spam zealots on the other side
blocking legitimate email.

I consider the latter to be the greater evil at this point as it effects me
the most negatively and directly.

FYI for anyone running qmail locally, there is a way to direct email
destined for a specific domain through another mail server (your upstream
providers smtp server comes to mind).  Add the following line to
/var/qmail/control/smtproutes:
aol.com:<smtp server upstream>

Restart qmail and be happy.
