Sounds like somebody with a RR address in their address book collected a virus that sent out lotsa spam using that as the "origination" address. These were reported to SpamCop et al, that then put RR on a published "Black List" for a brief period until either the reports stopped -- in which case the listing would be deleted -- or they continued -- in which case the listing would be continued. At least that's how I understand the process to work. -- Selah!
