Nope - that entry is incorrect.  Sendmail doesn't support wildcards, it 
does the following:

Example from address = abc at abc.def.com

Sendmail will do the following lookups (in order):

Spam:abc at abc.def.com
Spam:abc.def.com
Spam:def.com
Spam:com

So for your entry you would need:

Spam:aol.com	FRIEND

Regards,
Steve.
