[OT] collateral damage, Re: Skip net checks if local tests score is high enough?

[Matt Kettler <mk...@comcast.net>]

How nice of someone posting to the list to have the entire comcast.net ISP 
blacklisted.

(for reference, you can check the list-posted copy of the message to see 
the relay in use was 204.127.198.39. which isn't listed in any of the major 
blacklists, but is listed in a few minor ones like blars, monsted.dk, 
drbl.vsu.ru, etc)

Scott, could you check your DNSBL configs. It seems rather over-zealous to 
block the top-level mail relays of large ISPs.. It's at least as 
over-zealous as blocking the entire .nz TLD, as about the same number of 
email users would be impacted.
