Not that I can see.  If it's any consolation, they don't stay AOL usrs 
for very long....

What I do (it burned me this week) is filter (via procmail) sites like
that into an "abuse" inbox, and read it once a week in "no preview"
mode.  I figure that if they (real correspondents) can't write an
informative subject header (ie, doesn't look like spam), I don't want
to see their message either....

You probably have to go to a content-based filter.
