Following a single complaint from our incoming server MX5 (which forwards no other mail into AOL); AOL in their wisdom have blocked the server:

554 CON:B1 The IP address has been blocked due to a spike in unfavorable e-mail statistics.

We are tmpfailing AOL's servers on MX5 so messages will be delivered to the alternative server and so we can still continue to report abuse to AOL. Here is the message in full (with some redaction) which we wish to report as spam:
