Yes. AOL (and other ISPs too) simply reject IP address in the dynamic
ranges owned by cable providers. This has been in effect for years. They
should not reject static IP assigned by Comcast, RCN, Charter, ...

I didn't see anyone mention dyndns. You can use something like dyndns
(www.dyndns.com) to act as a host on your domain, and you can use them
as your SMTP host.
