This is somewhat of a stability issue as I'm seeing a lot of remote 
mailservers affected.

The blackholes.us series of RBLs (geotargetted IP space by country) is 
no more, hasn't been for awhile. It has now been wildcarded and answers 
positive to all queries.

Sorry if this is known, I checked the archives and didn't see anything.
