What you have run into is called AOL's "second received line" filtering
If your adsl customer is infected, or someone who had that IP recently
[if a dynamic IP] is infected and his PC is originating spam and
malware .. AOL will block any email with that infected IP in the
headers.
Simple reason for this .. a lot of malware is getting quite good at
hijacking Outlook or other MUA on a user's PC [including smtp auth
credentials if any] and sending out spam through the ISP's mail
relays.
Please sign your IP space for a feedback loop from aol -
