A bit OT Question

I keep seeing the below bounces in spam reports I'm sending out. I know the 
ordb is dead, who is using it, Earthlink or corp.mailsecurity.net.au?

 postmaster@corp.mailsecurity.net.au
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT 
TO:<po...@corp.mailsecurity.net.au>:
    host corp.mailsecurity.net.au [67.18.110.234]:
    451 4.7.1 Temporary lookup failure of 209.86.89.61 at relays.ordb.org:
    retry timeout exceeded

Yep, and they not only replied, but the problem is fixed. I sent the link to 
the slashdot article about relays.ordb.org going down.

You sent them an email to tell them their email is down?  Good luck with 
that :-)

Thanks John, I shot an email off to their tech contact letting them know about 
relays.ordb.org being shut down, hopefully it will be fixed.

corp.mailsecurity.net.au is using it.

They should notice it pretty quickly now that *all* of their inbound
mail is being TMPFAILed... :)
