Previously mail.com mail was handled by Outblaze (now owned by IBM). It seems, though, that mail.com is now outsourcing their mail delivery to AOL.

Valeria:~ laura$ host mail.com
mail.com has address 64.22.131.2
mail.com mail is handled by 10 mtain-mmc.gmtain-mmc.mx.aol.com.

This means mail.com is no longer affected by the aggressive blocking at Outblaze. Senders may see an change in delivery to mail.com addresses over the short term.
