No, you're confusing MSN -- some user chose a username of "abuse@msn", back
before "abuse" was in terribly widespread use.  This has since changed -- I
believe abuse@msn.{com,net} is uSoft now, not some user.

abuse@aol.com is, however, a fairly standard AOL mailbox, with all of the
limits that entails.

The correct address is abuse@aol.net, because it has much higher limits.

I'll point out that, if you used John Levine's excellent abuse.net remailer
(e.g., aol.com@abuse.net), this would have been handled automatically.
