Is this *your* IP address, perhaps?

Given that this was sent using a WebMail interface it *could* have been 
someone doing this by hand.  I have no idea how easy AOL Webmail is to 
spoof.  Having said that, sending email to accounts which don't work is 
a hallmark of spam bots.

If you have any passwords for your AOL account, I would suggest changing 
them.
