>> Is there anything you can recommend?

Complain to AOL. They brag to everyone else about how good their SPAM
filters are, despite the fact that they demonstrably don't work as well as
most. [I, for example, am not bothered by much SPAM and never by repeats.
This was also true when I was with a local ISP.] AOL used to, and probably
still does, have a special Keyword for reporting SPAM. Use it & hold them
to their word. Quit them if they lie to you.

They (AOL) _are_ the largest offenders in letting SPAM out, 'tho given your
difficulties, earthlink may be in the running. You should also complain to
earthlink; see their webpage. This is especially important.

Sorry, but I have no other ideas as to getting around this problem.
