Actually, 207.217.120.116 is the address for one of the Earthlink servers, not an address assigned to an Earthlink subscriber on connection (I am currently working in Earthlink support and will see if we can get this issue addressed).

His free ISP, myrealbox.com, has blackholed all EarthLink users
because (it says) one of them is infected with a virus.

DQ: Actually, Randall, as I read this, myrealbox.com is blocking mail from
that specific IP address, not from all Earthlink addresses. Never mind that
it's probably a dial-up and might provide access for any of thousands of
customers -- but the message below doesn't seem to imply an ISP-wide block
(as might well be the case for an ISP with open relays or proxies being used
to transfer spam, for instance).

207.217.120.116 is blackholed by rbl.myrealbox.com. You have been blocked
because your system is infected with a virus.
