I presume this means that mail sent _to_ an eskimo address from AOL will
bounce? And what about outgoing mail _to_ AOL? Will that still be viable?
The reason I'm asking is that I have a lot of subscribers on my eskimo list
that are on AOL, and I'd like to post your message to them so they
understand what is happening, and why...

Outgoing mail to AOL is not affected, incoming e-mail from AOL will be
delayed. It should not be bounced, unless their admins refuse to address this
problem within a several day period of time.
