It's an interesting question. I had the first dealing with it a couple
of days ago. A site called me, and wanted off the RBL. Turned out it
was one of the sites that hosted a nameserver for a few days for Cyberpromo.
After the standard set of questions, I removed them - but I know that
they are going to have a whole heap of trouble with the thousands of other
sites that were blocking Cyberpromo.
Without a central registry, unblocking "bad" addresses is going to be a
huge job.
