AOL has a "Custom Sender List" that users can specify.
However, to use the Custom Sender List, users must choose to accept mail ONLY from their custom senders, or to reject mail ONLY from their custom senders.
So, you need to make sure they are set to receive mail from All Senders:
- Click the Settings link at the top of the page.
- Choose Spam Controls from the options at left.
- Under Additional Spam Filters click Control From Whom I Get Email.
- A popup appears - choose the first option (Allow mail from all senders).
- Click the green Save button.
