Unfortunately this happens with some frequency; AOL imposes a temporary block, deferring messages from certain mail servers of ours. This is usually in response to spams from a compromised sonic user attempting to send to addresses at aol.com (or other domains they mx for). The blocking is only temporary, and we usually route mail around the block via other mail servers of ours. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you; we are actively working to improve the situation. Thank you.
