Swell. Now I know I configured that mail server with a healthy dose of
paranoia in my mind. (Those who work there know what I'm talking
about.) I would dare say that it was (at the time) more secure than
90%+ of the domains that these guys *do* accept mail from. It sounds
like you simply got skunked with the legacy of someone else's IP. I
don't mind blacklists, personally, but you need to be able to get off
of them easily for them to be useful.
