That's correct, I added your address to the list of valid ones just after

In December a large amount of spam we receive originates from AOL,
only UUnet has a higher amount of spam output.  Since there are only
half a dozen active debian users who use their AOL account for Debian
lists it is convenient to simply add their address to our exception list.
