No luck as yet. I've sent an e-mail to postmaster@ and abuse_rbl@,
hopefully I'll receive a reply from these.
Exclusionary blocklists are a great idea if they're constantly
maintained. I'm unclear as to why mail administrators don't work more
proactively with things like SenderID and SPF, as these seem to be far
more maintainable in the long-run than an ever-growing list of IP
address ranges.
