AOL is a big company. Are you sure that they follow the same policy in
each country and they have made so for years? I'm not.

I remember in 2001 having sent several mails to abuse about a
well-known spammer here without any success within the same month,
without even getting an anwser like "we'll handle that issue". But if
you tell me the issue is over now, I trust you.
(the debate is not about AOL)

Ok. I done what you asked.

First link, I can read 

        "We're sorry. If you bothered coming to this page, you are
        probably an innocent mail user who's mail has bounced back
        with a message telling you to come to this site. We'll try to
        explain what's happened. 

        [...] 

        Please don't misunderstand; we're not implying that you send
        spam. The message that you received simply means that the
        administrator of your server either doesn't know, or has
        chosen to run an open relay or open proxy." 


First link (<http://dsbl.org/sender>), disaprooval of what you said:
recognition of the fact that innocent people may be trapped by dsbl. 

Now, same question one more time, 

   What if -innocent people trapped by dsbl- had to report a bug about
   debian?  Creating an account on yahoo instead of using debbugs.el
   in their favorite mail reader?
   Working everyday on an another computer via ssh with a 56K modem to
   avoid getting mails refused because of their IP?
